Uniwill is an actual manufacturer. I'm sure it is possible to get the exact
same system from a number of smaller vendors as well, it would just be hard
to be sure who, since vendors are encouraged to use their own model names.

More likely, the defaults changed between one patchlevel and another?
If your previous config didn't need to specify because it was defaulting
to a correct setting, that would leave you high and dry should it change...
Thus the advice offered by most X servers, to explicitly set any correctly
probed options in your config file. It speeds the start (since it no longer
probes those things) and prevents getting bit by this sort of thing.
