I worked on rpmfusion-config-display for many hours today, here's where we
stand at the moment:
- Added support for autoselection of the correct driver when multiple GPUs are
installed
- Users are notified when none of the drivers support their hardware
- Profile script checks for running X server before outputting a warning
- RPM checks to test driver installation are functional

PackageKit integration is working perfectly, but there's one major bug - the
package installer refuses to run as root. I'll look into how easy it would be
to run as the regular user ask for root permissions so we can write
/etc/X11/xorg.conf, but I have the feeling that's going to need dbus and/or
ConsoleKit... If that's the case, I won't be able to write this feature for a
little while (running short on time).

I also experimented with the dynamic radio buttons, it gets tricky  because we
have to display radio button with its label set to the driver's display name,
but translate this to the driver's configuration name (the filename) later on.
As well, unless we want a huge list, we have to put the radio buttons into a
table dynamically which again, is possible but cumbersome to write... IMHO,
this is something really minor we shouldn't worry about and it's not worth the
extra development time.
