The real bummer with recent X is configuring resolution@refresh_rate
The driver tends to pick the highest refresh rate the monitor is
capabale of.  This is painful when you might use one of two monitors,
and, say, one will do 1600x1200@85Hz, but the other one 1280x1024@60Hz.

(Or using ctl/alt/- to try to select between refresh rates when you
switch between a CRT (@85Hz) and an LCD (@60Hz) at the same resolution.
