[Bug 77483] display options stuck in low resolution

[Lars Noodén]

Public bug reported:

In kubuntu (6.10) the system settings tool "Monitor & Display - System
Settings", if I choose one of lower resolutions, then KDE gets stuck in
that mode regardless of what I change or try to restore.  Setting the
slider back to 1024x768 in both user and administrator mode makes no
change nor does restartingthe X server or even rebooting.

Also, sometimes the settings tool "Monitor & Display - System Settings"
does not show any choices for refresh rate and currently only shows a
maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 instead of the card's maximum which is
1600 x 1200

The hardware is an older macmini.
