Hello,

Three days ago I solved a simular problem. Here is what I did:

Once in the messed up KDE do a CTRL-ALT-F2 and log in as root. Run
XF86Setup, configure your card and monitor. Save/Exit
Run "int5" to go back to KDE

I hope you can get you problem solved as quickly and eassly as I did.

Blessings,
Charles Hill
