Hi!
I am looking for the command to switch the resolution in KDE (shortcut to "open kcontrol -> devices -> display -> set resolution -> apply")
Is there any?
Thanks in advance, Hauke

ctrl-alt-(-|+) switches between the modes defined in xorg.conf.

Hi, thanks for your reply - unfortunately is doesn't work for me...
Where can i set global xorg-shortkeys?

I dont think it's possible through dcop, at least not from what i've been able to determine. It was listed as a "wish" bug report for kde back in 2003, but I was unable to find updates on that.
This link:

might be the way to go, using xrandr and kxrandr to change the resolution. I have not tried this but give it a go.
by the way, it would be on the lines of "dcop kdesktop [whatever kdesktop used to get/switch resolution]", I'm guessing something like "dcop kdesktop --geometry x y" or some such. doing kdesktop --help-all will show you some commands you can do.

that did it, thanks a lot!
The command i used was first
xrandr -q
to find out about possible resolutions then
xrandr -s 1280x1024
to fit mine.

Good to know, I'll keep that in mind.
