My first suggestion to the MDK development people. The X Configuration Wizard needs work. You should at least be able to set the HZ refresh rate that is legal for your particular monitor. If a given value can't be set. It should then report that fact. After which a user can select an alternate refresh rate. Then, the whole process begins again. Also, why not provide the newest XDriver on the install. At least for the most popular video chipsets such as ATI and NVIDIA. Come to think about it. These two are pretty much all that are left for new video cards coming out. This is desirable over building a drive after install. You are after all. Attempting to make the Desktop very polished. And... It is. I'm very impressed at what I see thus far. However if you're interested in being numero uno on the desktop. This X stuff needs to be cleaned up. I'm sure one of the developer guys can get this done. Anyways. Keep up the good work.
