I think the answer is that Xorg is moving into the direction of
getting
things working properly by default by instead of having the user fiddle
with settings. The Xorg auto configuration mechanism in FC6 works better
and usually gets things right. If there are problems file bug reports
and help fix the issue rather than workaround it with configuration
tools and files manually. For Xorg 7.3, the plan is to use HAL and DBus
to enhance this further. Also see

Yes, this is exactly right. We need to be improving autoconfiguration
instead of relying on that display module more. If anyone is having
problems with the autoconfig results, please file bugs about it. This
stuff is still a little rough around the edges, particularly in the
kickstart case (yet another thing on my todo list...)
