[solved]KDE 3.x - switch between Resolutions

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.

Re: [solved]KDE 3.x - switch between Resolutions

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:

http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-List … 00331.html

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.

Re: [solved]KDE 3.x - switch between Resolutions

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.
