The first time I tried to install X in was on a Diamond Viper before
that particular card was supported. Later I encountered various revisions
of the mach64, each time having to wait for one more beta of the server.
Plus, I've encountered some very interesting mouse-related problems.
So maybe this has warped my attitude. But personally, I don't want to even
*think* about installing X on a system until I've already installed
everything else.
