Help with resolution settings

[Michael Haney]

This is what I put in my xorg.conf file.  Its from Jaunty, the last
version of Ubuntu that allowed you to manually change your monitor
settings from the screen resolution window.  The monitor I have a
21inch Sun Microsystems CRT that supports VGA.

Section "Monitor"

	SubSection "Display"

	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"screen1"
	Device		"device1"
	Defaultdepth	24
	Monitor		"monitor1"
EndSection

Section "Module"
	Load		"glx"
	Load		"v4l"
EndSection

The point though is that I SHOULD NOT have to edit my xorg.conf file
at all.  I should be able to click on a Hardware or Monitor tab in the
screen resolution window and select the monitor from a list just like
you could in Jaunty.
