Is it possible to choose between different xorg.conf files depending on your 
needs? What I mean is, can you get startx or xinit to choose a config file 
other than the default?

What I have in mind is to be able to choose between using fglrx (for faster 
opengl) or the radeon driver (because fglrx won't (AFAIK) work alongside 
other drivers for multi-head setups (and because it's not very reliable 
either)).

One problem would be that fglrx works best with ati opengl, whereas other 
drivers require mesa. Would I have to eselect the different opengl version 
each time I started X? I suppose that it would be possible, failing all else, 
to simply run a script each time I start X to sort out the opengl and swap 
the xorg.confs about. 

Actually, the card I am using is a radeon-9200se. I understand that the 
chipset support for this card in the radeon driver is better than for later 
models. Is the performance of the radeon driver for this card likely to catch 
up with that of fglrx in the relatively near future and make my question 
obsolete?

Many thanks
