Monitor and Display applet missing

[jledhead]

---

hello all, I am using kubuntu and I just did a clean install of edgy and then dist-upgrade to feisty. Everything works just fine except the monitor and display applet is missing so I can't easily change my resolution. After the upgrade it was there but when I opened it, all it showed was an error that said this was an orphaned package left over from the upgrade. after another reboot it was completly gone.

I know I can manually change xorg.conf but this just seems like an annoyance and maybe somthing I am missing. X is currently working fine at 1400x1050 res

thanks for your help.

Hi !

check in Control Center ( kcontrol ) -- Peripherals -- Monitor and Display.

thanks for the reply.

when you open kcontrol you get the default info view, when I click monitor and display it refreshes and gives me the same view. If I click on anything else it gives me the right info.

Also I did go thru adept and found the package and installed it, now when I go to system settings its, there, I open it and get the same message:

The module Monitor & Display could not be loaded.

The diagnostics is:

Possible reasons
-an error occured during your last kde upgrade leaving an orphaned control module
-you have old third party modules lying around



hmmm, reading that line again, the only thing system wise I installed was an ati driver. if you have any other ideas its most appreciated, I will look around and maybe remove the ati driver (since its really not helping)

you have to re-install ATI driver but if X Server is working fine and you dont have any resolution or X Server problems, i would suggest you to leave it as it is.

I removed the ati drivers because they didn't really support my vid card anyway. I then restarted X did a dpkg-reconfigure kde-guidance
and it didn't make a difference.

I just ended up doing dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and change my resolution there.

not the cleanest solution to just change the resolution, but whatever.

thanks for you help.
