I will check it, but these are hacks that mangle the configuration files.
We need to have something fully integrated with Ubuntu/Debian and debconf
otherwise users will lose the option to reconfigure X in the dpkg way.

I will be able to test the nvidia side, but not the ATI. Also afaik the
ATI just replaces the driver shipped by xserver, so there is no need of
any magic in it.
