Bug 247323

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                unspecified

Now that most modern distributions are using auto configurations and automatic settings and are beginning to remove some configuration tools in favor of it there is always still room for error.
Take my monitor/graphics card for example, by default my resolution is 800x600 but I can go up to 1024x768.
I have a intel graphics card, its detected as VGA.
Now with tools such as openSUSE's SAX2 or Mandriva's control center I can automatically set my resolution to my higher setting of 1024x768.
HOWEVER in Kubuntu, I dont have a tool like this and pretty soon openSUSE will loose SAX2 and its gui.
Without such tools I cannot get KDE4 to remember my monitor settings, no matter what I do or how hard I try KDE4 does not remember my monitor settings.
Unless I manually edit xorg I cannot stop KDE4 in Kubuntu or other distros that use KDE4 without some sort of monitor setting tool like SAX2 or Mandrivas control center.
So with Kubuntu and most other KDE4 distros I am stuck at 800x600, as its set as auto and there is no way to change/alter this.
So I propose there be extra settings for KDE4's monitor tool, like a "set as auto" feature or a "use resolution each time at login"
KDE4's session saver never saved my monitor settings and I should not have to mess around with config files.
So I ask if its possible to have more options for "display" in the near future for KDE4.
