Not hostile would have been an email to one of the many list altering us users of this upcoming change. Not hostile would be explaining the rationale instead of just saying that the change has been already, take it up with someone else. In no way are the release notes the best place to alert users of these kind of significant changes. This isn't a new feature, or some bug. </pre> </blockquote> Agreed. One example: get an (not so) old ASUS box with SIS video and LG 710E monitor. X won't be OK until you get able to: 1) Download system-config-display 2) Figure out that monitor frequencies are not correct (even when you choose it at system-config-display) and fix it by hand at the created xorg.conf ... At this point many newbie users coming from other distributions (not to mention Windows people) will go back to lands they know better. In this case it would be quite simple to keep compatibility to the older behavior and there's really no gain in the new behavior. </body> </html>
