I stopped doing manual xorg.conf configuration back in Fedora 6, unless 
I had a necessary reason for fiddling with the xorg.conf.  So no, 
there's no conflicts (unless the system changed something).  I can say 
that doubly because I formatted the drive and installed from base Fedora 
8, and then updated to Rawhide.
