        Sorry... forgot to tell you...

        ... I have several xorg.conf files... like this:

        xorg.conf.install
        xorg.conf.radeon
        xorg.conf.fglrx
        xorg.conf.640x480

        And, I have a script that I run in a wrapper when I  startx  (from 
runlevel3) 
that selects the xorg.conf file (driver) I need based on what I'm going to 
do.  For text processing I use the radeon driver... more stable... one X 
server... and I don't need 3D.  For 3D the fglrx xorg.conf file is what is 
needed...    the script takes the choice input and then links forinstance:

        ln -sf xorg.conf.fglrx  xorg.conf

        ... creates a symbolic link in /etc/X11 that looks like this:

        xorg.conf --> xorg.conf.fglrx

        
        Its just a personal preference... I like symbolic links, and I make 
heavy use 
of them too.
