KDE doesn't save rehresh rate selection

[Sheepdogj15]

ok, this should be filed under "not critical, but annoying"

you see, i use a KVM switch, and so when i use a refresh rate that is too high, you start notincing lines and such. the default seems to be 85Hz for something... unnecessarily high anyways IMO. so i go in the Control Center and change the setting in Display, and throttle it down to 70-72Hz in both displays (i am using a multihead setup).

however, whenever i exit KDE/X and then start it up again, the refresh rate is set again to 85! i can't figure out why it isn't saving the setting.

help? i suspect i can jimmy rig it by changing the VertRefresh settings in xorg.conf, but i'd rather fix this rather than just workaround it if possible.

KDE can only apply the refresh settings once you log into KDE; it doesn't modify your xorg.conf. Do you have the "Apply Settings on KDE Startup" box checked?

If that doesn't work, you'll need to do some fooling with your xorg.conf. By default, xorg uses the highest refresh rate for your given resolution, horizontal refresh, vertical refresh and pixel clock. If you want to specify a different refresh, you'll probably need to make your own modeline. To do that, use:

that is probably my problem.
