Hi all,
I have a 1600x1200 monitor and icons are sooo small...
Does someone know how can I change monitor resolution?
You will want to either change your XF86Config, as others have suggested, or look into using the Xrandr extension in Xfree-4.3.0 if you wish to resize your screen "on the fly".
Here is a posting on kde news about xrandr support. It tells you the cvs module as well i belive. Overall KDE support for xrandr, as well as support in other WM and programs genererally, may need some work before it is flawless.

Another xrandr interface is `xrandr`, included with X. to get yourself familiar with it, type:
`man xrandr`
Then, to get a list of supported modes on your particular devices, type `xrandr -q`
Now you have a pretty list of display resolutions and refresh rates. Pick the one that you wish to use, and note the size number (the number at the beginning of the line).
`xrandr -s #`
where # is the size number.
There are a couple of notes here: xrandr is still new. There are some issues with it still. For example, if support isnt there, your panels might not resize (not sure how far along kde support for the extension is). Also, depending on your window manager, some programs may be thrown off the screen (actually, they dont move at all, your screen is just smaller).
Good luck.
