never asks you for your resolution or driver anymore in lenny or sid (or Ubuntu hardy.) Now I really am lost as to how to get my screen to 1024x768.
Whose idea was it to change Xorg to behave this way? Will it be changed back anytime soon?
you can set your resolution by editing xorg.conf.
there will be a section which contains available resolutions,put your prefered one first in the list so this should load at start up.
the file to edit is here

I think, it's a bug. It happened to me with amd64. I didn't try to fix anything but Lavene said that manual editing xorg.conf should be OK.

How can it be a feature if the fields in the xorg.conf are blank, and there's no way to edit them except manually? If it is feature, it is a weird feature.

It's supposed to be a more automated setup so that you shouldn't have to touch the xorg.conf file. However, as we're finding out, this "feature" is having some growing pains.
If you use the latest fglrx or nvidia driver, their xorg.conf generating tools have been adjusted to accommodate the newest version of X.

Sure I am using. The trick is that nvidia is unsupported on Lenny at all.
