About two people seem to be unhappy (oddly, one of the not-unhappy ones is one that dynamic config completely fails to work for, probably because his card and machine are so old that he's used to rolling his own). Everyone else in the thread so far is mostly commenting on how surprisingly well X dynamic config works (my experience too).

Yes, I think Egbert rather courted controversy by emphasising "business" over technical reasons. The thread I'm following the count of the unhappy only got to 2, 25 mins ago, and the 2nd is more worried about xinitrc and effect on other desktops perhaps commented without following the discussion on XrandR etc.

Unfortunately it often seems the case that Linux sites, seem to report unreliably on openSUSE, or at least report things that don't match the general user experience.

I suppose a furore is a better story, but in the run up to 11.2 the lack of an xorg.conf to hack, did seem to confuse a number of ppl.
