I don't know the real sollution, but I know that a lot of work has been  
done in Gutsy to improve xorg's usability, including a GUI tool for  
switching screen resolutions.
I'm running Gutsy on my main machine, and it is pretty stable, not really  
had any problems with it.
So if you can risk running pre-Beta software and have 3 hours time and a  
broadband connection, you can upgrade your Feisty to Gutsy. To do that do:
update-manager -d
on the commandline.
It will open the update manager with the option to upgrade to Gutsy  
displayed.

Hope that helps...
