Running sax2 gives a config of 1400x1050 on Card Intel 855 GM.
I have changed to other 1400x1050 monitors (not the ACER Travelmate 800,
which is mentioned under --> LCD). When testing, something goes not like I
expect. In the dialogbox, below the arrows, it says:

Screen [0]: 1280x1024 @ 72 Khz : 68 Hz

or with other monitors 74 Khz : 69 Hz

I cannot get it to show 1400x 1050 here. But when i restart sax2, it comes
up with 1400x1050 as configured resolution.
Again, running KDE shows 1280x1024 as max resolution on desktop.
How does kde know of max possible res for the desktop??
