For a lot of cases, yes, it already does.
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.
This is a very strong goal for Fedora 10, at least for me. There are a
couple of outstanding things that are going to have to be taken care of:
*) Getting the X keyboard layout set based on /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
*) Need to be able to pass arbitrary options for input devices (eg, all
the stuff needed for wacom config)
*) Profit :-)
And there's some ideas on how to deal with both problems, there just
wasn't time left for Fedora 9.
I'm having discussions with someone about this at the moment and
would
appreciate some clarification on where things are head so that this can
be addressed at their end.[1]
The right answer here is going to involve an fdi file -- but that's also
then going to require fixing the X server to ask hal which driver to use
rather than the way it currently does
