In Fedora < F9, I think this was done by kudzu. Now there is no kudzu, but
only hal.

But it the event of new graphics card, some process has to erase (rename)
any previous xorg.conf
available.  This was the main problem I had when I installed F10. I removed
an nvidia card
I used during the installation (to start using my onboard Intel graphics) ,
and then I had no X
at all, until I manually erased my xorg.conf and rebooted.
