Graphical Configuration Tool
Some Thinkpad laptops ship with ATI video cards. Ubuntu 7.04 Open Source video drivers could be graphically configured with a minimal utility that allowed to to choose a single resolution.

Gusty Gibbon now ships a more fully-featured utility, making the Open Source video drivers a more attractive choice.
