I've just tested a 7.2 release candidate, which started at full 1920x1200 resolution on the 'nv' driver, without an Xorg.conf file. Other cards may work equally well, so a 'generic' X setup may be nothing more than building every display driver they distribute with it. Getting accelerated 3D might be more complicated - but then, the kernel is also pretty good at working out which available module to load.
