X.org and XFree86 Reform

albepetr writes "NewsForge is reporting about a press conference held today at LinuxWorld 2004 in New York, where some members of the X Consortium, XFree86, and freedesktop.org announced that X.org and XFree86 have merged. They claim that the reformed group will be working together to bring "not just more eye candy but new functionality" to the X Window Manager for Linux and Unix." Newsforge and Slashdot are both part of OSDN. Update: 01/23 18:06 GMT by M : XFree86.org denies the story. I think a more accurate description of the event might be something like, "XFree86 core developers leave XFree86, join X.org, remaining people of XFree86 are peeved".

Hey, dumbass, that is where the ability to change resolutions is located...the control panel.

Click on the desktop and choosing properties, however, is, duh, another way to get to the control panel box called 'Display Properties'.

There are many things wrong and stupid about Windows, but the ability to right-click on something, choose properties, and then being able to change the properties of it are not one of them.
