It belongs in the kernel, as part of the gfx driver.
Having X11 handle modes (and host drivers) is retarded. Always has been, always will be. Hardware drivers should be tied to the kernel. Having them driven by a user-space app is a kludge at best.
At any rate, this is how BeOS & Haiku do it, and I'm sure countless other OS's out there that don't have their craniums firmly planed up their posteriors.
