Getting ready to clean install F9 -- re: Option "SWCursor" "True"

[William Case]

Hi;

In F8 at first startup I had to text into my xorg.conf and change it
to  

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
	ModelName    "Monitor 1280x1024"
	HorizSync    31.5 - 79.0
	VertRefresh  50.0 - 90.0
	Option	    "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Option "SWCursor" "True"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "nv"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Videocard0"
	Monitor    "Monitor0"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
		Modes    "1600x1200" "1440x900" "1400x1050" "1360x768" "1280x1024"
"1280x960" "1280x800" "1280x768" "1280x720" "1152x864" "1152x768"
"1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" "640x400" "640x350"

or else I got an 880x600 screen layout with no mouse cursor.  

After changing the xorg.conf and rebooting the 1280x1024 screen was
usable to re-setup up my working environment and to do do the upgrades.
Eventually I could replace the 'nv' driver with 'nvidia' and was good to
go.

What has been peoples experience with F9?  Should I just automatically
go to a manual text display setup and make the changes in xorg.conf or
does F9 now start with a usable screen and mouse cursor?

(I am printing out a hard copy of my working xorg.conf just in case.)
