But wouldn't it be nice to be able to tell the installation program to remove those offending lines, or replace them with lines of resolution you want?
It looks like the Mandrake 10.1 version of xorg is set up that way - I no longer have page after page of modelines, although I do have several that don't work.
You also seem to be saying that you want an easy way to change screen resolution that's not Ctrl-Alt-[+|-]. First, I think your objetion is bogus, the only reason most people press that combination in the first place is because they know what it does, that's why it's a three-key combination. If you're holding Ctrl and Alt, you've got to expect something systemic to happen.
Second, most of the KDE desktops I've seen lately have a screen resolution icon in the system tray, so somebody else must have a similar complaint. Click on icon, click on resolution, done.
