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)
- switched multiple displays for single head system - KVM switch connected to another system - display's EDID and/or DDC is missing or dysfunctional
