It seems like Fedora/RedHat removes the standard tools in favor of 
system-config-display. An example of making normal life easier, but 
creates extra work when you want to do something out of the ordinary.

Wonder whether it would be wise to take the tools out of an official 
xorg package, don't know what dependencies exist inside that system.

I just wish removed parts could make it into Extras as a separate 
package when Fedora chooses to alter what is coming from upstream, 
unless there are incompatibilities. Then we get to choose our tools.

Btw, have anyone else got a xorg.conf with no entries in sections 
'files' and 'modules'? The only tool I know I've been toying with since 
installing FC6 is system-config-display, before that only anaconda 
during install. That's why I want the probing xorgcfg, to see what a 
normal xorg.conf for my system would look like.
