Isn't YaST open source now? If so, why the hell aren't they using the display config offered in YaST rather than have people waste time editing the Xorg config file(s) by hand?
Theoretically, it should just work "out of the box". Second, probably because nobody has ported it to Ubuntu? See below for details.
Because its a QT app. Ubuntu is a Gnome distro. This actually matter more to developers than just having the function.
Not exactly. There is a Qt frontend for YaST as well as a ncurses one. So if somebody wanted to they could write a GTK+ frontend. All the SuSE-specific stuff would also have to be ported. There's a Debian project doing something with this (Google will reveal the URL).
