Mandriva , Mepis and Open SuSe 10.2 ( The most widely used Distro's ) all have this feature of configuring your Graphics Adapter ( Onboard / Graphics Card ) from the Control Center .
And , don't say that Fedora Core doesn't have this facility - Fedora Core is not an OS portrayed as a Home entertainment operating system .

If this should happen , Linux will cease to be Open Source anymore . Please RTFM -

For any software ( including Device drivers ) to be classified as "Open Source" it's source code should essentially be distributed along with it's Binaries AND for free .
