Finally a unified configuration applet for Xorg..
…or at least that was what I hoped. In the update to this article it says it will not be ready in Ubuntu before april 2008. The lack of an easy way of setting up X was my main reason for switching over to MacOSX last year after seven years as a Linux (laptop) user. Having to restart the graphical interface just because you plug in an extra display was too annoying for me to live with. However, it seems I may live happily with my MacBook Pro for quite a while longer anyway 
UPDATE: As Ola Lindberg point out in the comments, the configuration applet actually _did_ make it’s way into Gutsy. And it works. Mostly

This is great! In my opinion grapics card configuration and screen monitor configuration is the biggest problem when running Linux (on a laptop).
I have played with the Screen resolution tool (http://olalindberg.com/blog/2007/09/20/ubuntu-gutsy-dual-screen-resolution-almost-works/) in Gutsy and it refuses to help me out. It didn’t really help me out too much but failsafe X worked fine ^_^
Take care!
