You don't need to reboot. Restarting X is enough. Booting only to runlevel 3 (add 3 to grub line each time you want no KDM during that boot) and using startx instead of KDM makes this kind of testing easier and faster.
I first tried restarting X - but - that did not do a thing !

It was never completely clear to me where or how you were forcing 1024x768. If you were doing it from within KDE system/personal settings only, or with xrandr or krandrtray, you need to reset it/them to pick up resolution (and DPI) automatically from Xorg like is done by default when xorg.conf doesn't exist.
All I did was two things (1) at install time did the F3(?) and changed to 1024x768 and (2) used the KDE personal settings to 1024 x 768.
(1) only affects the mode used on the ttys during and post-installation, and the mode used by the X portion of installation; nothing to do with X post-installation (2) KDE is overriding settings you made in /etc/X11/xorg.con* and the automagic that Xorg would otherwise have used -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
