Hmm -- that seems problematic.  Driver misconfigurations have left my
system in an unbootable state before; I'd hate to have to jump through
hoops to downgrade to working drivers -- I'd think it should at least ask
before auto-configuring everything.

This is why I refuse to enable fb, DRI & [xgk]dm.  The nvidia kernel
module isn't loaded until you run startx.

So, no matter how hosed X gets, the machine is functional and you
can log into the console, reading email with Mutt and surf the web
with links2.

This is why I am distressed about kernel modeline settings.


What?
