I just installed kubuntu on my system and i'm having a bit of a problem getting the right resolution.
I have a widescreen monitor that supports 1440x900 max resolution

I have an ATI Radeon 9550 and I've installed the fglrx drivers

my xorg.conf looks like this
I took out all the other resolutions
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1440x900"
EndSubSection

but when I start KDE
the resolution is set to 1920x1080 so i dont get to see the whole screen on the monitor

anyway to get force it to display at my selected resolution?

Try using this instead of your listed SubSection:

Section "Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1440x900"
Virtual 1440x900
EndSubSection
EndSection
