[Bug 3731] Re: Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect

[Bryce Harrington]

An early preview about a GUI config tool we've been working on to help
address this problem, since I know many people are having this problem
and wondering what the plan is:

http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/BulletProofX/

This is not a true fix for the root cause of this bug, however it is
going to be a better workaround than having to manually hand-edit your
xorg.conf.  The above link shows the tool in use when Ubuntu has
completely failed to generate a working xorg.conf, and provides a
failsafe environment where the user can select monitor/device settings.

The displayconfig-gtk tool will also be available from within Ubuntu's
System menu, to allow re-configuration once Ubuntu has launched.

Neither of these capabilities are implemented in Gutsy yet, but should
be within the coming weeks; I'll update here once there is something
that can actually be tried out.
