In most cases there is only one driver per graphic card so you don't have to change it in xorg.conf. Both exceptions Nvidia and FGLRX have a setup for the change. How do you know if your hardware sends wrong or no information? And X doesn't hide it. Most information should be available in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. What is the difference to check a conf or the log file? The big advance is that you can configure your system without knowing the details and X should even start in most cases if xorg.conf was removed. The resolution/keyboard/mouse changes are easy possible with the GUI which should be enough for most users. If you can't select all supported resolutions most likely your hardware sends wrong information which can possibly fixed through a quirk. If not this is normally the only reason for having modelines in xorg.conf. Displayconfig had broken several configurations so I think the current system is no regression.
