"Let's face it; some distributions have better controls for handling display issues than others. Two that do it right out of the box that come to mind include Fedora (Red Hat) and openSUSE (Novell). Each includes tools that minimize the need to do what I gleefully refer to as the 'Xorg dance'. Basically, these options mean you are going to be spending more time exploring what these distros have to offer, yet less time wondering why your resolution looks completely off. Unfortunately, even with the latest release of Ubuntu, we have yet to see this level of functionality."

As your parent said:
It is a strong point of X's ARCHITECTURE, and an extremely weak one in the CONFIGURATION.
I believe X's architecture lets you do pretty everything you want, be it locally or remote, but either Xorg.conf does not provide a way to make X do what you want, or it is so mind boggingly complex, that it is undoable for everyone but a die-hard Xorg programmer.
I hope, the Xorg guys will fix that in the near future
