Hmmm new thread material :-)

Yes, I noticed that the xorg.conf file does not exist anymore. Question, using nvidia-settings and saving the changes, can be done how, if I do not specify the xorg.conf file?
By default there is no xorg.conf file. You can create one - and nvidia-config does create a basic one), and add only the lines or extras you need to add extra functionality - eg adding modelines if they are required for some special case. Some people have had to add special tweaks and settings for unusual video cards, or custom settings for a special case monitor configuration... or the rare time when a monitor/video card is not autodetected correctly - it happens, but only in a very few cases (in my observations and experiences)
Maybe, if you use TFT monitors. But with CRTs it occurs frequently. The system can't guess correctly the size with the correct refresh rate without flickering. That is the screen size is set to 1280x960 with 75 Hz refresh rate (visible flickering) instead of 1024x768 at 85 Hz with much less or non visible flickering. It occured to me several times. Even worse if the system can not remember the corrected settings and you have to start with adjusting the display after each login. [snip]
This is probably one of those "corner cases" that has a specific need outside the usual stream of users. I haven't played much with xrandr outside of the defaults. Some people here on the list have talked about desktop icons they've created for restoring default resolutions.
As I understand it is even not expected from the system to work correctly since most of the users don't need it. One more thing, I don't know about: All of the desktop/window managers work well with xrandr? IMO the default resolution should be set correctly by xorg and not by the window managers. I agree that the best is if the system can set things automatically; but it must be correct - no excuse. If it can't then tools for correction should be available. Like sax2 in openSUSE.
