Description of Problem: xconf.py is missing a comma that is preventing the use of --set-resolution. this "set-hsync=", "set-vsync=", "set-videoram=", "set-driver=", "set-card=" "set-resolution=", "set-depth="]) should be "set-hsync=", "set-vsync=", "set-videoram=", "set-driver=", "set-card=", <--- "set-resolution=", "set-depth="]) add the comma (not the <---) and --set-resolution works; currently you get set-resolution not recognized or something similar; either way it doesn't work; add the comma and all is well.

Fixed in CVS. Will be fixed in the next release.
I just noticed someone updated this bug to change it from a beta bug to an 8.0 bug. Not knowing who did the change, I thought I'd mention that the bug is CLOSED->RAWHIDE in case they were updating it to reflect the problem still exists in 8.0 and didn't notice it is resolved already.
I changed it to 8.0 because i wanted to dup a public bug against this. But bugzilla still refuses to dup bug 76923 against this one.
