    <description><![CDATA[What I am proposing is a Graphical User Interface for the "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" process.  The reason this is needed is in the case of a new Ubuntu user having to reconfigure/reset their display, they will not be immediately exposed to a terminal.<br /><br />It could easily be added as a tab to the "Display" dialog under the Administration menu.<br />

  <description><![CDATA[I like Solution #2, but I have reservations about the direction. It seems to rely on GNOME components to get things right. If I switch to another window manager, then I lose the extended desktop unless I set it up in xorg.conf. This is a problem.<br />]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Maybe implement both?<br /><br />Also, I like having an xorg.conf filled with information. It's a good reference. Now it's all gone. Maybe have all the auto-detected settings stored in it??]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[xorg.conf shouldn't exist at all. If I had my way, it would be totally disabled and be unable to be enabled. Similar to windows, everything should just work, and nothing should be needed to be manually specified]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[That command doesn't do much anymore.<br /><br />I'd rather see a GUI for adding the specialized xorg.conf options (such as specifing certain refresh rates, dual monitors, etc).  I can never remember them when I need to add them.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[default xorg.conf really contains nothing, it already just work as it is because X auto detect all the settings he need.<br /><br />X boot up has slowed down because of those auto detect mechanism.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[A robust xorg.conf GUI would be great. Dual-head systems haven't worked for me since Hardy, and I actually once was running the Hardy X server on Jaunty to fix this. Eventually I just switched to using one monitor.]]></description>
