What suprised me about that was what X itself did. Without resolutions
defined, I expected 640x480, not some very high resolution. I wonder if my
display would have survived after a bit of time.

I do like the Gentoo approach. But I will be glad when a new stable release
is available. I am suprised at how many things are masked.
