display manager/xorgconf problem


This is an annoying problem when I log in to kde4.3.0 I have to start the display manager and then the resulotion changes but surely it should save this and it does but the settings seem to take effect only after the display manager starts here is my xorg.conf

Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
