Howdy,
      Look, I'm dumb as a rock, new enough to mostly keep my yapper shut and have a coupla strikes against me to start with. Thanks to this thread, I found my missing 'displayconfig-gtk', which was removed from the menu by a recent update.
      FWIW, right now I'm running one of the K8M890M motherboards that has a 'Chroma' video adapter thru a KVM. Last year I wasn't able to get the video working acceptably in the time available using Edgy (when it had just come out.) With this utility on the Hardy, I can make it work.
      The installer has not yet correctly ID'ed my video or screen on either this or other (both newer & older) machines with a variety of video hardware. Before finding the utility and the 'how-to', I was nervous that I'd have to put it away & try again later (because I'm really impressed with Ubuntu.)

      I'm not alienated, but the time I have available to get new computer solutions running is limited. Thanks for listening to my perspective, this thread has been quite helpful.
