With all the older drivers being dropped, is it possible to get from the
repositories the old system settings program that let us select the monitor
and/or video card driver that use to be supported? Or at the least, let us use
generic/general drivers that lets us set the resolution and other settings on
our own. I've had 2 out of 4 installs run into this problem where I've been
stuck in 800x600. I was able to solve one and I'm still working on the other.

It use to be much easier to fix this problem when the vid-card or monitor were
not properly detected; we could go to the system settings program and select the
right ones. Now, we can't and we're forced to solve the problem on our own and
even play with the xorg.conf file.
