I'm pretty sure that from comments made either on this list or
fedora-test that we are moving in a direction where the norm will be
that no xorg.conf file is needed and therefor won't be created.
I think it is not good idea. Autoconfiguration is generally better than
manual but in some cases autoconfiguration cannot help you. Examples:
- your xyz driver is broken and you want use vesa temporarily
- you want use some external module (like vnc module)
- you are user who needs fine-grained configuration (autoconfiguration
is good for masses but sometimes people needs more)
Best should be use autoconfiguration as much as possible but preserve
and create minimal xorg.conf.
