What do you want see tested on intel hardware?

But whatever:  I guess the tool should just say something like "this tool only
manages proprietary nonfree drivers; there are no such drivers for your
hardware so you won't need this tool" or something like that

I'd say: definitely go for /usr/share then. Make it use
/etc/rpmfusion-config-display.d as second source if really needed, but I see no
reason for that. IOW: don#t create config files or files in /etc without strong
need
