I'm sure everyone must be sick of hearing about this xrandr gui work, but by popular demand I've added a Revert Dialog, like in the old Screen Resolution tool. Needs a bit more testing.
Xrandr Reverting

Bryce,
Thanks for your great work with this. I'm sure many people will benefit. One question: I have a Thinkpad T60 with
ati x1400 card and am using the fglrx driver successfully on gutsy. Will your gui work with this card in hardy? I have heard that one needs to use aticonfig as well as xrandr when using fglrx because the proprietary driver does not support the latest xrandr......
Thanks

Hi richard,
Yes, that's correct. -fglrx currently doesn't support xrandr 1.2, so it will not function properly with the new Screen Resolution tool, so you'll have to continue using aticonfig, etc. to configure these systems.
I've talked with AMD/ATI folks about xrandr 1.2 support and it's need for our new config tools. For now we'll have to wait and see.
