I did not know there is a new method for this. After system-config-display was
removed, I though the only way is either autoconfigure ("rm xorg.conf"),
or "vi xorg.conf".

But no matter, I specify NVIDIA graphics for all purchases, install the NVIDIA
proprietary driver (from NVIDIA or from ELREPO) and use "nvidia-settings"
to configure the display (including multiple display configurations).

So which tool are you using?
