Hey guys,
I was playing around with the resolution of my monitor in KDE. I wanted it a little lower than it was and I set it to 1024x768 @ 60Hz. I tested it through KDE looked ok, then all of a sudden my monitor displayed a message saying out of sync range or something. Everything freezes up and I can't get into my KDE. Can you guys tell me the file to edit and what I should put in the file so I can get KDE back to default. Thanks.

/etc/X11/XF86Config

or

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Edit the frequencies to match your display (use google to find your display settings)


Here's mine for an example, do NOT use these settings. This is for a NEC 21" Multisync :p

Section "Monitor"

Identifier "My Monitor"

HorizSync 31-89
VertRefresh 55-160
DisplaySize 433 325
