excellent new crap

"excellent new crap" they should say.

I tried that stuff via Wubi and "Monitor Resolution Settings" applet amazed me. It erased all screen resolutions form xorg.conf exactly like its precedensor "Screens and Graphic" did in 7.10, when I run it just after the installation.

And look - there's more - when I edited xorg.conf manually (where is that yours "all works perfectly in one click" mantra, my dear Ubuntu fanboiz ?) that dumb piece of s.....t still displayed "unknown monitor" and "50 Hz" when screen resolution, monitor type and refresh rate were set correctly (I still use CRT monitor)

And please dont tell me that it is still alpha, since "Screens and Graphic" in "7.10 final" worked exactly the same way.
