How do I set the screensize of the desktop in KDE. My monitor screen size is set to 1024*768 but my Desktop is 1280*1024.

Thanks

try locate XF86Config
then nano -w /path-to-file/XF86Config
and almost at the bottom of that file you will find

Section "Screen"
Driver "accel"
Device "S3 ViRGE/DX (generic)"
Monitor "My Monitor"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection

Where modes is the different resolutions that are availabe for that color depth. If you need a better resolution just add it to the default that you are using and you can change btw the modes by using <ctrl> <alt> + or <ctrl> <alt> -. Good luck
