Hi ,

I'm a complete noob but maybe I can help (cross fingers! )

I had a similar problem, everytime I wanted to adjust/configure my display settings, I'd click on the X icon in settings/control centre & it would just hang for a while & then stop.

So I looked in the the help section & under "Unix Mannual pages" I found that you can configure your Display, Keyboard. mouse etc by going to the shell (command line) & doing the following:

type su to be in the root/supper user mode
then type: xf86cfg & hit enter

this will bring up a low graphic where you can click & configure your issues - VERY EASY!

After you finish, just exit & you'll be asked if you want to save changes, hopefully you made the correct changes & u have to log out & relog in (not restarting the computer! just restarting X or KDE) in order for the new settings to take hold.

I had to change my monitors refresh rate & it worked perfect.


Good luck!
