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'.

Ahh the joys of not having a Control Center. Also all that autoconfigure X crap is a pain in the behind. Use gtf and generate a modeline.
e.g. gtf 1440 900 60. Stick that modeline in your xorg.conf. Force xorg.conf to use that mode and off you go.
Here is my xorg.conf
