On the default Ubuntu desktop this is in: System - Administration - Hardware Drivers You can enable and disable hardware drivers there.

If you are referring to a GUI tool for editing xorg.conf, I am not aware of one - you're better off editing the file directly (details here). Evan Kroske 2010-08-05T06:25:39+08:002010-08-05T06:25:39+08:00 Perhaps you're looking for dpkg-reconfigure. It's terminal-based GUI for reconfiguring software. You should be able to change your xorg driver settings with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.
