But as it sounds to me you are an Pro-User. When a DE brings a graphical tool for an XF86Config file why not??? The new user uses the dialog you the file both will work.

Hm look XF86/X-Server world is changing so we don't know what is coming in the future. I know that to find an right configuration for your graphic card is not easy and yes Knoppix is doing the best job there so first we should contact the X11 team to create a better configuration backend in the future and include in the "new" Controlcenter the Knoppix autoconfiguration tool![]()

I like the idea of having the configuration in one place............
As for the problem of differing hardware and configurations, why not use the approach similar to how webmin works in some of the modules..............Take the Apache module for instance...............You can set certain parameters using a dialog box, but you also have the ability to view the whole configuration file in an internal editor.............That way you can use the dialog box to make changes, but you also can look at the configuration file itself and make any necessary changes directly to the file without having to hunt it down and fire up a separate editor................
Even though webmin is a web-based app, the same approach can be used for the KDE Control Center..............![]()

One place sounds ok, but one application doesn't.
KControl is already quite full, with almost only KDE options.
I'd rather go for a menu in KMenu, where all configuration centers are available something like
Configuration
|-> KDE Configuration (KControl)
|-> Hardware Configuration (KHardware)
|-> System Services (KDaemons)

OTOH, I've also once seen suggestions for separating admin options from user options. That would be a different approach.
User (mainly desktop stuff)
|->
Admin (anything that requires root privileges, hardware info, low level stuff)
|->
What do you think?
