There are all sorts of posts associated with the

When did Fedora/X stop using an xorg.conf file ?
It certainly isn't mentioned in the F10 release
notes.
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10/en_US/What_is_New_for_Instal...
How and where are the X system settings set and held
now ?
Thanks
A few releases ago Xorg starting pretending to be too smart for an xorg.conf. It has been very very annoying for me.

While I can concur *Sometimes it is annoying*, on 9 out of 10 machines that I run Fedora 10 on, I don't have xorg.conf and things are working great. But there is an exception, the one with ATI built in the motherboard, I get very bad resolution 640x480(not even 800x600) that there is a need for it :)
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200 Series]
I just tried to install Fedora on another machine with similar built in only that lspci reports it as ATI Radeon 200 and it is a no go, even with Text INSTALL, so YMMV :)
