KDE has a checkbox for *everything in the world*, so I'm sure you can
reverse/reconfigure it somewhere. I haven't used it, but I'm assuming it
can set resolution and refresh rate as well as multi-monitor
positioning, hence useful for single monitors.

This is the same A11Y problem you keep complaining I complain about. The obstacle here repeated is it can be much harder or even impossible for people faced with too small GUI text to make it big enough than it is the other way around. Without the necessity of a mouse pointer too small to see, or checkboxes too small to hit with limited dexterity, xorg.conf can be used to reverse globally-forced 96 DPI even before KDM ever accepts its first login, thus enabling fine tuning from within KDE using text legible to the beneficiaries of competent A11Y design.

KScreen in F19 currently is overriding xorg.conf, reverting text to inadequate forced-to-96 size. Whether this is WAD or Fedora bug or upstream bug is yet to be discovered by me, but I see a grand total of only 9 KScreen bugs on bugs.kde.org. Based exclusively on their summaries, none seem to be related to this behavior.

P.S. I did find out openSUSE is holding KScreen back from standard repos until 4.11.
