Hmm -- that seems problematic. Driver misconfigurations have left my
system in an unbootable state before; I'd hate to have to jump through

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.
