It shouldn't be removed and the menu entry should be put back. Many resolution
issues have been solved in Hardy with this tool. Also, devs recommended this
tool when people complained that "dpkg-reconfigure" didn't let them change
driver and resolution settings in Hardy.

I've been following this thread for the past couple weeks, and now I see
that it's not just me! Something definitely has to be done about this.
There's still two weeks till the final release; this needs to be brought
to the attention of the developers.

Screens and Graphics menu item in wrong s
Howdy,
Look, I'm dumb as a rock, new enough to mostly keep my yapper shut and
have a coupla strikes against me to start with. Thanks to this thread, I found
my missing 'displayconfig-gtk', which was removed from the menu by a recent
update.
FWIW, right now I'm running one of the K8M
I understand the thinking here about removing it as it can hurt your
system, however, it basically concedes the fact that some users will be
stranded with a broken Ubuntu installation that they cannot fix without
expert help. As someone who is that expert, I regularly try to get
friends/family to

Why is this bug marked fix commited? Where was the fix commited? Why hasn't it
yet entered the repositories?
Also the debdiff attached doesn't look very nice. It has some unexpected
deletions.

OK, that's fair enough. I've done a little experimenting; the screen
resolution is detected fine when using the open-source 'nv' driver, but
not when using the 'nvidia' driver. Since the 'nvidia' driver is closed-
source, there may not be much you guys can do about it, so I'm not sure

@dorkdork, these days xserver can auto-detect monitors, drivers, and
resolutions correctly almost every time. But there are still corner
cases (maybe including yours), but they're getting so increasingly rare
that having a GUI for specifying the monitor is sort of overkill. It's
better for us whe
After some time considering this bug further, including helping my

But what will the people with dual displays do? Especially the people
who have been on Windows for ages, and are now looking to switch to
Ubuntu; it would be a very bad first experience to have to run a command

Screens and Graphics menu item in wrong sectio
Wait, so it's being removed? But the Screen Resolution app has no
support for selecting type of monitor, or dual displays, or the graphics
driver! Or are these things being added to Screen Resolution instead?
I ask because, by default, my monitor is recognised as only supporting

As I recall, gnome-display-properties (GDP) has been around for a few
releases, though I don't recall exactly if it was in
System/Administration or System/Preferences, though the important thing
is that GDP doesn't require root privileges while displayconfig-gtk
(DCG) does. Having the
So to summon it up:
It was supposed to be removed from the menu altogether and be replaced
by the Screen Resolution Tool.
The tool was put in place as a replacement of displayconfig-gtk under

However, displayconfig-gtk wasn't removed from the menu it was moved to
