- When we switch monitors and video cards the only thing we've ever needed
- is the X server executable. The sources in /sys should have all the drivers
- for the different cards since these are built into the generic kernel which
- you can rebuild at any time.
-
- Most of the setld distributions I've seen are tar files. You should be able
- to tar -tf one of the 4 distribution files in the worksystem software
- distribution. Use the file command to find the file that is compressed
- data and then say 'zcat <file> | tar -tf - > <file>.lst'. I'll admit
- that I haven't done *exactly* what you are doing, but I've done similar
- things. You are looking for filenames that begin with /usr/bin/X... I have
- about 5 X servers on my machine right now.
