[olug] Graphics Card for Fedora 10

[Adam Lassek]

No, you can still edit xorg.conf, you just won't have to anymore. A lot of
the boilerplate entries have been removed because X.Org's autoconfiguration
features make them unneccessary, which I think is a very good thing. It's a
lot less intimidating than it used to be back in the XFree86 days.

The GUI, when released, is basically just a frontend for xorg.conf. They've
released the Python Parser and Validation engines, I believe, but the GUI
interface isn't complete yet. It's been designed to be desktop agnostic, so
when the GTK interface is done they plan on creating a Qt version as well.

Here's the project

Launchpad.
