Then you pretty much HAVE TO go with a screen-number based config one way
or another. 

[particularly if your yardstick is "what does ms-windows do?"]

You could use the pci ids to check to see if the device has changed. But
otherwise, I think just a straight screen-num based set of configs would
make the most sense.
