Comment 21 for bug 240916

Well, as the bug i reported was marked as a duplicate of this one (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260436), which I agree with, i'm leaving a comment to remark that this behavior not only happens for undetected monitors, but with most cheap KVM switches out there (which make the video card unable to detect the monitor). Of course finding the monitor modeline and setting an entry on xorg.conf fixes the problem, but then user is left to its own luck to find the correct modeline on the internet (or the monitor docs, -in case he/she still has them-). A proper configuration window to allow selection of the monitor model (or similar) would be ages more userfriendly in case of unable to detect... ubutu already had that functionality, but it was taken away, which i feel is sad.. so why is this on wishlist?
