Hi,
when i try to change the resolution in games like quake3 or doom3
the xserver crashes and brings me back to the gdm login.
Im using a geforce3ti200, p4, iiyama 17 monitor.
My Ubuntu is up2date with apt-get dist-upgrade.
I really miss a good tool to config the xserver,
also my monitor wasnt listed at all,
i took my old monitor section from a different install.
here is my xf86config:

anyone has similar problems?


OT:
im really happy with ubuntu,
nearly all things run fine.
Sometimes my nautilus crashes when i try open some folders,
yesterday i had some times the problem that i couldnt open nautilus and 
most gnome configtools anymore.
When i restarted the xserver i could log in but gnome didnt start, 
worked only after a reboot.
maybe someone else had this trouble and its worth a bug discovering tour.

greets
