How does it support running without a configuration file? Is there 
another file for configuring X somewhere? Or you talking about the old 
configuration program before redhat-config-xfree86?

If it figured out dynamically which settings were best for the machine. 
It seems that there would be long delays starting and a chance of 
over-excercising the video card with setting trials.

If it went by some database for cards, took the settings, stored the 
settings in specific registers, then used other standardized schemes, it 
might work.

I'm glad the module excerpt helped improve the resolution for graphics.
