Ed:
But doesn't the execution of system-config-display generate an
xorg.conf, which is what I know I am trying to avoid (and I think Robert
from his additions)? I scanned the web and didn't spot anything implying
the contrary, but I admit my web searching skills have been lacking on
the past couple times I've tried to find thing.
