Public bug reported:
Intrepid is making the move to remove displayconfig-gtk from the list of
available applications. Doing so without providing another method of
manually configuring your display is ridiculous. I know that the
perception of xorg 7.4-2 is that everything is there that you need to
configure X, but that is incorrect. I have a machine at home currently
that is running an nvidia card. Prior to my move to Intrepid, compiz
effects worked fine at a resolution of 1280x1024. Now that I have
Intrepid installed the DKMS system fails to properly build the nvidia
drivers which renders the machine useless for X when it is reboot.
Making matters worse is the fact that when I do get X to come back there
is now no tool like displayconfig-gtk to get my X configured properly.
See I have an older monitor attached to this system and when its polled
will not identify itself so X naturally assumes lowest common
denominator resolution of 800x600! This is riduclous.
I really can't understand why Ubuntu has to keep breaking X with each
new release of the OS. Ubuntu needs to work as seemlessly on Intrepid as
it did for Hardy and currently it does not. Since the processing of
xorg.conf has changed it is important to have a tool that will manually
allow you to configure the display.
