Is it possible to choose between different xorg.conf files depending on your |
2 |
needs? What I mean is, can you get startx or xinit to choose a config file |
3 |
other than the default? |

|

What I have in mind is to be able to choose between using fglrx (for faster |
6 |
opengl) or the radeon driver (because fglrx won't (AFAIK) work alongside |
7 |
other drivers for multi-head setups (and because it's not very reliable |
8 |
either)). |

One problem would be that fglrx works best with ati opengl, whereas other |
11 |
drivers require mesa. Would I have to eselect the different opengl version |
12 |
each time I started X? I suppose that it would be possible, failing all else, |
13 |
to simply run a script each time I start X to sort out the opengl and swap |
14 |
the xorg.confs about. |

Actually, the card I am using is a radeon-9200se. I understand that the |
17 |
chipset support for this card in the radeon driver is better than for later |
18 |
models. Is the performance of the radeon driver for this card likely to catch |
19 |
up with that of fglrx in the relatively near future and make my question |
20 |
obsolete? |

Many thanks |
