Correct.

Correct too. Usually you do not need much in it but something will
be needed. 'Xorg -configure' will write a bulk of that. Not really
back to days of calculating modelines yourself but apparently we are
going in that direction so you may still have your chance.

And that sounds correct as well.
As a matter of fact I have seen quite recently Aspire One in "Future
Shop" on a shelf. It was even substantially cheaper than a similar
one running XP and sitting side by side. There was only one
problem. X server was clearly messed up and there was no way to
restart it. The one with XP was working (for some value of "work").
