Hi ! X was started but the monitor was not detected via DDC. xorg.conf has at monitor section the default values. In that case the newers monitors will not be used at their true value (as an example the refresh will be lower or even the resolution will be lower ). I have an old LCD monitor (Neso LD 700V) which is detectable via DDC.
Why do you say that can't be used mount_unionfs ? It doesn't work properly if you want to do multiple mounts almost in the same place. But if you do only an mount_union it works. I haven't found any problem. All the best !
