The Fedora people and us are waiting for Xserver 1.3, which has the new Randr 1.2 protocol. What does this mean for normal users? Basically, the new randr, which is the protocol for changing screen sizes, is totally changing, meaning all tools which change screen size need to be reworked. There is a release candidate for 1.3 out right now[1], but it is doubtful whether that will make it into Feisty (or Fedora 7). I would expect Feisty+1 to have such a gui, as the new randr protocol is now stable. Thank make sense?
