Kubuntu and xorg question


Hi,
I am new to ubuntu/kbuntu and presently have kbuntu installed..The install went ok and the system is up and running but I did notice that kbuntu did not ask or request input for my monitor..Thus the horizontal and vertical frequencies are very low..My only display refresh rate is 60 hz @ 1024x768...
Other distros like Mandriva/suse use configuration programs to set the parameters..To complicate matters I see xorg which I know nothing about..
Can someone give a pointer as how to configure my monitor(hopefully by GUI rather than command line) but if command line is how to do it then ok..
Thank you for reading this and for any tips or suggestions..

Never mind I got it

Hi again,
When I tried B4 to modify my monitor settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf using vi
the Xserver would not start..I tried it again with different settings and X did start ang gave me choices to my screen resolution and refresh rate..I generally run 1024x768 at 70 hz..
Everything seems normal now..
