We reported earlier on a blog post entitled "Ubuntu Report Card (2009)" where the author detailed how they felt the Ubuntu experience had improved over the years. In a follow-up series of articles looking at the future, Tanner Helland has written 10 different broadly-scoped feature requests that [he] 'and many others would like to see by the time Ubuntu 10.10 rolls around'.

The repeated biggest problem remains video that's like the dark ages of computing. When I cannot plug in a 16:9 1440x900 19" LCD that has DDC information over a DVI connection and have it actually start up in the native video mode - Hell, it doesn't even LIST the video mode and I have to spend three to four hours dicking with xorg.conf to get it to show anything other than 800x600, there is something MAJORLY wrong. Then of course that xinerama is still a joke, going more than one display kills compositing, and in general it's like a trip in the wayback machine to analog CAD displays circa 1989 X11R4... All those cute 'panels' for controlling the display are **** worthless if they don't work/don't do anything.
Of course, what's wrong is that steaming pile of manure known as X11.
