The proc "directory" is also very handy if you want to dynamically configure
an x server for specific cards . . .

		Take a look at the hardware detection scripts from RedHat.
		Mandrake have the same ones, probably unmodified.

		Mandrake's Xconfigurator (6.0+) makes a nice and tidy
		XF86Config without many comments, and just one modeline for
		each resolution. I guess RH6.0+ has the same one, but I
can't
		be bothered to check. It would mean me getting out of my
chair
		and hacking into some other guy's test-machine ;)

		I've transferred my harddrive between computers quite a bit
		now, along with my Banshee. X works without modifications,
		unless the monitors are terribly different. Linux isn't
picky
		when it comes to what slot you've got the cards in.

		NEVER run PII-optimized kernels on K6, though :/
