"To be honest, I doubt that 'non-technical' users would change their video cards
on a whim. But I do see your point, and am thinking about hacking up gdm's
XKeepsCrashing wrapper to check if the video card is different than what we've
configured for."

But when they do change it, everything comes to a crashing hault with no clear
sign of what to do. Also don't forget if they switch monitors the modes may not
be set right any more. I think that's the more likely usage scenario. Is there
anything preventing the wrapper from giving a more friendly explanation and
offering to reconfigure the video?
