I've had to fight this lack of xorg.conf in other distributions --
that and the nouveau video driver and grub2 -- and was kind of
dreading the day it would come to CentOS. At least we didn't get Gnome
3. Not quite sure why these kinds of changes are being made, but there
are a lot of things I don't understand -- and I'm sure there are good
reasons for all of it. I'll just adjust and find ways to work around
it.
