Screen Resolution out of order

I installed a 22" Flat screen (for my old eyes) and tried to change the resolution. I have messed it up and now when I get to the kubuntu log in window (for username and password) it is unreadable. It has the word kubuntu all across the screen, overlapping the previous one. How can I reverse this and try to set the resolution again.
Thank you

I have the resolution correct in my windows drive. The problem is only in Kubuntu.

I don't know if kubuntu has some kind of X config tool, so you'll have to edit xorg.conf.
Look for Section "Screen" and add / or erase resolutions under desired subsection (probably for 24bit depth):

Source code

 
1
2
3
4

  SubSection "Display"
    Depth      24
    Modes      "1600x1200" "1600x1024" "1600x1000" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1440x900" "1280x960" "1366x768" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1280x768" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480"
  EndSubSection
