Perhaps it's deprecated. What do you mean by simple? Modern hardware supports multiple simultaneous displays and users want to configure them in multiple ways: clones desktops, large desktops spread across multiple displays, different modes on each display. There's not really a good way to guess what a user wants. > > For example in our OS http://webconverger.org/boot/ people do not know > in advance what their physical connector will be called for the > xrandr= API.

I think most users are now familiar with multiple displays. if xrandr on the commandline is too complex there are multiple GUIs for configuring displays. Most are pretty similar to the windows display configuration tools.
