I think the best option here would be to do something similar with the display drivers as is done with the resoultions - ie. specify 3 or 4 in XF86Config-4, and get X to try them in order. So for an nvidia card you could have... Driver "nvidia" "nv" "vesa" It would try the non-free driver first, then the 2D one, and fall back to vesa if neither are available. Obviously this would require a patch to X... David Sansome
