I think the closest you're going to get to that is lxrandr, which comes with most LXDE based distros (like Lubuntu). SliTaz also has tazx to help setup your graphics card properly because the generic driver isn't the best if you want to play OpenGL or SDL games.

I followed your instructions on this thread. Unfortunately, however, I only got so far and I got this output in the terminal which in part reads: "insmod: cannot insert 'lib/modules/2.6.30.6-slitaz/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.
ko.gz' : No such device
modprobe: failed to load module nvidia: No such file or directory
(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your
(EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages.
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module specific error, 0)
(++) Using config file: "/root/xorg.conf.new"
I hope that is enough info to tell what happened. I am new at all this. What did I do wrong if anything? Please let me know if you need more information. TY.

@Rob
Start a new thread with this info.
Are you using slitaz-3.0.iso or a flavor ?

This might be helpful to someone.
My screen resolution was not settable to 1680x1050 until I did this:
I use ATI (3200 sapphire motherboard graphics) with HD3450 plugin card and followed the instructions on this page:
http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:xorg-xvesa
choosing to install the Radeon driver instead of Catalyst.
# tazpkg get-install linux-agp
# tazpkg get-install linux-drm
# tazhw setup ati
As a result my etc/X11/xorg.conf was modified only very slightly.
Section "Device"
Driver "radeon" . . . whereas before it was "vesa".
The screen resolution is now set correctly to 1680x1050 and my spider button is perfectly circular.
A quick check of width and height in pixels is also possible by using an lxpanel width and height display as a ruler.
Ultimately I want to get all my 3 screens (each 1680x1050) working as one big desktop.
That is what I have been using with ATI Catalyst on Xubuntu for over a year.
I have not yet been able to get the ATI Catalyst drivers working with Slitaz, though I have made progress as one screen is now at the correct resolution.
I just installed an nvidia card on SliTaz 3.0. This is what I did to make it work:
* Downloaded the driver (.BIN FIle) from nvidia website
* make downloaded file executable: "chmod +x downloaded_file"
* Downloaded the linux source: "tazpkg get-install linux-source"
* executed the .BIN file you downloaded from nvidia: "downloaded_filename.bin kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux"
Also, I have another pc with the same slitaz version with Matrox G550. I was able to install the driver using SliTaz Package Manager and chose xorg-xf86-video-mga. It wasn't there at first but showed up after I recharged the lists. Might want to try this option first.
I have a machine with an nvidia card, not sure which one but is vintage around 2000-2002, and the latest slitaz cooking live cdrom version works with a default screen resolution of around 1024 x 768 x 16 I'm guessing.
