The xorg.conf file is not *needed* anymore in F-10. The X-server will determine the parameters by itself. But if there *is* a xorg.conf file X-server will use it. Since the proprietary nvidia drivers need a xorg.conf file in most scenarios, I think a generic one needs to be built via "system-config-display --reconfig", possibly in %post.
