One of the things about FC6 that bothers me is the exclusion of an 
adequate configuration file to make X work correctly. Since it is 
obvious that the server does not do the right thing in a reliable enough 
manner, passing a command to the x configuration program for either a 
minimal or conventional X configuration file should be included, 
upstream or not. The default should be for the conventional and more 
reliable configuration.

The main goal of Fedora should be to make the most reliable distribution 
that follows upstream as closely as practical instead of following 
upstream to the letter when their goals are ahead of their accomplishments.
