I'm also affected by this bug.
I'm using Ubuntu for over 3 years, and I've survived many difficulties with
configuration, but now I must say that the new Xorg resolution autodetection
simply sucks!
It can't detect correct resolution settings on both my laptop (ati, 8.04) and
pc (nvidia, 8.10), using both open and closed driver. I always have to
configure xorg.conf by hand because that's the only option to get the best
results.
Not having any possibility to manually choose graphics card and monitor in GUI
is a serious limitation and a regression from previous versions.
Yes, I know that power users like me can type in whole xorg.conf by hand, but
that's painful and takes much more time than clicking in the gui and choosing
all the stuff manually.
I miss the old tools from breezy-feisty era.
