The kcmshell displayconfig thing now loads up the window, but it doesn't have 
the right values for the resolutions (just has 640x480 and 800x600) and says 
it is using the VESA driver. Whereas the display is in fact 1600x1080 and is 
nvidia-glx. If you try and sudo it is doesn't work and has the same error 
message as before.

The systemsettings now works in the same way, with the same result as above, 
although if you sudo it doesn't work. However, if you click the administrator 
button when in the displayconfig dialog, it doesn't have a problem with it.

Bestest,

T.
