Sorry for the multiple replies to the previous post.  But I was thinking about this
issue this evening and I've got another thing you may want to try.

After bringing up KDE go to a konsole window and run nvidia-settings.  One menu item
is "X Server Display Configuration".   Use "Save to X Configuration File" to save the
configuration to a file in your home directory.

Edit that file so it only contains the Monitor, Device, and Screen sections.  Then
copy that file, as root, to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/98-monitor.conf and reboot.

FWIW, mine on my old acer looks like this....

# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings:  version 340.107  (buildmeister@swio-display-x64-rhel04-13)  Thu
