Gone, no longer used. Take the time and read the RELEASE-NOTES-en on the
first CD or on the DVD. For example you will see;

     o In this release, the XFree86(TM) X11 implementation has been
       replaced with the X.org Foundation's new official X11R6.7.0 X
       Window System release. This release is a merger of the previous
       official X11R6 release, XFree86 4.4.0rc2, and additionally includes
       a number of updates to Xrender, Xft, Xcursor, fontconfig libraries,
       and other significant improvements. Refer to the X.org X11R6.7.0
       release notes for more information:

       [3]http://freedesktop.org/~xorg/X11R6.7.0/doc/RELNOTES.html

So try using xorgconfig, xorgcfg or system-config-display to configure the
video.

For other devices to configure try using the system-config tools;

$ rpm -qa "*system-config*"
