Ok, so 8.04 gets rid of dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and 8.10 gets rid of displayconfig-gtk, so if our graphics cards and monitors are not detected properly by the new X autoconfig in 8.10, how are us commoners supposed to reconfigure our Xorg without writing it by hand? Removing functionality from Ubuntu makes no sense to me, as X really isn't as bulletproof as the developers would like it to be.

No matter how buggy the 'displayconfig-gtk' is, but you can't just remove it without giving an alternative solution to the user.

Now my monitor can be detected in Fedora, in Mandrake, in Opensuse, and other modern Distros., but just can't be used properly on my Ubuntu 8.10....

Is this so called "Linux for human beings"? Unless all human beings won't mind work on a 640x480 resolution desktop...
