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 :-)
Please don't forget us folks who run Fedora on rack-mounted servers in the back room. I've got a single monitor, mouse, and keyboard shared via a KVM switch between several machines. The odds are high that those I/O devices cannot be queried for their properties at X startup time because the KVM switch is set to some other machine.
