How do I make Kubuntu default to 1280x1024 instead of 1280x960?

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; xrandr

Thanks

when should I type this in? Do you need to know the software that changes the screen rez and stuff cause it is called: KRandRTray
I typed this command in after I already changed the screen resolution to the size I like (1280,1024) this is what I got:

kubuntu@ubuntu:~$ -C display; lsb_release -a; xrandr
-C: command not found

kubuntu@ubuntu:~$

and yes my computers name is....... Ubuntu and my user is Kubuntu.

oh and I don't think that is really the max size that I can go because I don't have that good of graphics card, and I don't know a screen that can go that high of a resolution.... (4096 x 4096)

SORRY I DIDN'T PUT IN ALL OF THAT COMMAND............

Here is the real results (sorry...):

kubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; xrandr
[sudo] password for kubuntu:
PCI (sysfs)

Jez sorry I didn't wait long enough it told me some stuff afterwards too....

So this is the signed and certified copy of what it said in Konsole:

kubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; xrandr

and I thought I should say I am using the experimental 3D driver for NVIDIA graphics cards.

If you slow down a little bit dude, you'll be fine.

If you run:

sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings

The setup the display as you want and then click 'Save to X cnfig file', the setting willstick. Reboot to test

So I made sure I typed the command in right now... I got a "sudo does not exist or something, then it asked if I wanted to download gksudu I said yes and then after it finished I typed in the command again, it said "sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found" and it appeared it was launching gksudo, but then it wasn't there after it seemed to finish loading

Do you use KDE or Gnome?

I use KDE but then there was your one post about optimizing RAM that you posted in so IDK though you should see that post... Like right now before we go into this more

Try:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-96

Then reboot to test. If it's bad then boot to root recovery console and remove the package
