It's a pain yes, but gets easier with more experience, and better
releases of X.  I guess when hardware manufacturers start making their
card info more freely available, the driver developers will have more info
to go on, and be able to write pukka code.

As it is, I've got 1600x1200 in glorious technicolour.
