Not to beat a dead horse, but I didn't say Debian was impossible to configure. 
(My being able to get X up and running is proof of that.) My point was that 
until Debian offers auto-detection of video and easy configuration of X, it 
would be a good idea to offer a central reference point for users seeking a 
configuration file that works with their system. This lists goes a long way 
in centralizing help for new Debian users.
