I would like to inquire as to why configuration of display settings was removed from first boot. As it is, xorg often ignores resolutions set by system-config-display, but now I'm not evening being given the chance to be ignored, and frankly Fedora is terrible at guessing display settings (from the past 4 FC6 install I've done). In the latest install, FC6 correctly detected the VGA and monitor, but botched the autoconfig enough that LCD blanked out (display out of range) - fixing this was troublesome enough - and I've yet to get xorg to accept the resolution as I set t exactly from system-config-display. I was thinking of filing a bug report, but I figured that I should better ask questions here first.
I think the answer is that Xorg is moving into the direction of getting things working properly by default by instead of having the user fiddle with settings. The Xorg auto configuration mechanism in FC6 works better and usually gets things right. If there are problems file bug reports and help fix the issue rather than workaround it with configuration tools and files manually. For Xorg 7.3, the plan is to use HAL and DBus to enhance this further. Also see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/XInFC7
