No system-config-display, so what now?

We will get there faster, if people report bugs when autoconfiguration 
does not work. It doesn't yet on systems where the hardware reports it 
incorrectly, returns junk data or no data at all for instance but we can 
still make it work if we knew the hardware details. In a report, you can 
file the output of lspci, /var/log/Xorg.log without a custom xorg.conf 
and any further information you want to provide.

system-config-display is a bandaid from the time when XFree86 was 
stagnating badly but now that Xorg is going rapid development, it makes 
sense to fix the underlying issues instead.
