it and raise the bar to the same standards that commercial software is
judged by. What is that standard you ask? It’s the standard of “does it
work”. My conclusion - no - it doesn’t. Fedora 8 is broken."
It seems like a rant more than anything from my point of view. Some
valid points but overall a rant.

Excuse me, is editing xorg.conf "several more hours" of work, and for an
"expert" at that?

Lets pretend for a second he said instead he was an old granny, there's
no excuse as to why someone should need to edit the xorg.conf, the
system-display-conf is there for a reason. If it didn't work as
intended, his point is perfectly valid. <br>
(Though it shouldn't take him more than a pair of minutes to tweak a
string... ;) )<br>
