also, thank you for kicking my chemo brain in the butt. ;-)

yes, i forgot about X being the wise and wondrous now.

iirc, there used to be a file under /etc/X11 that had specs for
keyboard, mouse, graphics card, monitor, language, etc, that one
could make custom changes to if needed. several years back that
got changed with auto probe. yes/no?

therefore, my only real concern would be for progs like firefox,
thunderbird and what else that is not standard with distrib, and
have special files in /lib, /lib64, etc. y/n?

as for icons and KDE configs, icons should be same as they are
under /usr/share and i do want to have same/similar desktop window
settings.

long story to short, just try it. y/n?

Well,

   First try to hold in the same OS version on both, this will easy things :D

   IMHO, filter the dirs for firefox, thunderbird, etc... and try to sync only 
your docs and desktop info!

   You can try syncing all and see what happens :D

   Att.,

        Antonio.

this is true.

both are 6.6 and as of 2015-0516 both are updated to release
2.6.32-504.23.4.el6.x86_64.

this is true also and main of what i will need to sync, which i
intended to run from a script to work with paths in ~/ for:

  .mozilla, .thunderbird, Audio, Documents, Downloads, Graphics,
  Personal, Pictures, Public, scripts, TV, Videos, WWW.
>    You can try syncing all and see what happens :D
could, but not. building common ~/ for and then rsync/ssh took long
enough. ;-)

i found the file for screen info by opening

 system settings > display > size & orientation

making a change to 'lvds' setting, then running from .kde

  ]$ find . -amin 1 -print
  .kde/share/config/krandrrc,

then restored to, size: 1366x768(auto) refresh: 60hz, which is to
specs.

i still have a problem, horizontal tearing of screen while desktop is
loading and centos banner is showing and varies each time. so i need
to go back under the config directory to find what other files may
need to be tweaked. or may be due to video chip being ati and may not
be correct one loading.

just one more reason i like computers with linux os. i get to play
and increase my knowledge. ((GBWG))

strange thing about that file,
