It is indeed not that dificult to change the settings, there is (if I remember correctly) also an commandline config for X-windows, but I dont know the name (something line configX?).

but I have a slightly different problem - If I run in 1024x786 (@24) my screen is moved to the right, and I cant adjust it far enough on my monitor. does anyone know a way to move it left, in the software? with the installation of suse, I remember, I was able to do so manually (they represented a screen with big buttons for left, right, up and down and if u pressed them the whole screen moved. it was also possible to enlarge or shring, etc etc, very usefull for me...).

btw win98 is also unable to do it, so I can only run 800x600 - but thats fine for '98, not for kde!
