Well I guess YMMV. I have 3 machines using i915 drivers and all of them |

work flawless with hal and no xorg.conf. Even the laptop which I'm |

using now. I get all the resolutions that the laptop's LCD uses and |

| 10 |
screens. All three pointers work (touchpad, trackpoint & external |
| 11 |
mouse), GLX works, KMS works... even my i915-based HTPC that connects to |
| 12 |
my TV through HDMI works (1080p, HDMI audio out) with no xorg.conf. |
