I can save you guys 56 minutes of your life and summarize the conclusion the one speaker in the broadcast who spoke on behalf of X/Xorg..
It's hard and it's difficult and its complicated.
There it is. Now mind your own business and be patient you people who expect it all to work and your apps not crash when x crashes. We have lots of excuses and no (standard) solution in the xorg world!
From a user's perspective, I don't care that its a challenge. The OS web site claims we will all reach Utopian nirvana with Linux and that's why we install it, not to much around with xorg.conf and guessing modelines
Lately I've been trying to make sure that the desktop will be visible if I plug in only my LCD monitor and not the LCD+CRT. It's not easy because xorg sends too high of a refresh rate to my LCD without a CRT plugged into the other video port on the video card. When I installed F11, I had two monitors plugged but now I want only one plugged in which has xorg confused. Simple things like this ruin the experience. I know for certain there is a fix but F11 isn't sophisticated to take a voice command "Fix it," just yet.
(edit: and I'm certain the LCD is not telling xorg/f11 that it can display that refresh rate)
