<Please understand when I say sax2, I mean sax2 or a replacement>

You need to go to tty1 and first type `init 3`.
Then do the steps and then type `init 5 && exit`

This already shows the disadvantage over sax2.

It is a great way if sax2 does not work to get to a situation where you
get a GUI, so you can launch sax2 to do the finetuning. It does not mean
it is a replacement, it is an addition to it.

I tried it and got a GUI as test. I did NOT get any way of configuring
anything, nor the ability to configure my second screen. This does not
mean it is useless, because it isn't. It is very helpfull and should be
seen as part of the whole solution.

I do not see it as a replacement for sax2.
