Automatic Screens ruins my display

Bug Description

I just tried out the Gutsy beta, and really like it. I especially LOVE the new XOrg feature where each of my screens is different. I went into System->Advanced->Screens and Graphics. Set my 2 screens to Dell 1905fp (Analog), and a resolution of 1280x1024. Restart X. Now the resolution of the "screen" is 1024x768 (or something smaller) than the 1280x1024 going to the screen. So when my mouse hits what should be the end of the screen it scrolls to show more of the video output.

I don't know if that makes much sense.

Bryce Harrington (bryce) wrote : displayconfig-gtk is deprecated

Thank you for reporting this bug and for your efforts to make
Ubuntu better. As Xorg has improved this past year, an unfortunate side
effect of these improvements is that it has rendered several design
assumptions in displayconfig-gtk obsolete. So, starting with Hardy we
are no longer putting displayconfig-gtk forth as a primary configuration
tool, and are putting our development focus into the Screen Resolution
applet. As a result, we do not plan to fix this bug and thus are closing
it.

For more background on this change, please see this page:
