Hi, this brings up a point regarding DrakConf. You wrote:

I was also looking to change the resolution in 8.0beta. I entered DrakConf,
found something called Display and thought "Aha! That's it!", but no, the
only thing there was the option to chose monitor type. I continued to look
everywhere in DrakConf, but no place to change resolution and color depth
could be found. Frustrating.

NOW I've learned that the Display module in DrakConf was a *wizard*, but it
did in no way tell me that. There was no "Next" button to tell me that the
monitor screen was only the first one in a series of screens.

I see three possible solutions to this UI issue.

1. Split the display options in two. One called "monitor" and one called
"screen".
2. Put a Next button next to the Ok button.
3. Write in the header "Chose your monitor type and press Ok to enter the
display settings."

I'd prefer the first option myself, but the others would do. In any way
something needs to be done before the 8.0 release.
