Live CD X autoconfiguration

[Matt Zimmerman]

Thanks to some new autodetection logic from Daniel Stone, inspiration from
Joey Hess, and support from Colin Watson and LaMont Jones, the current crop
of live CDs will now automatically configure the X server using the same
tools used during the installation process.

This consolidation makes it simpler for us to maintain this component,
maximize our support for graphics hardware, and facilitate testing in the
community.  If the live CD detects your hardware correctly, there's an
excellent chance that the installer will as well.

This also makes the live CD a great way to get a preview of some of the new
features available in the Hoary desktop, without changing your Warty system.

Let us know how it works for you.

Caveats:

- The amd64 CD suffers from a mismatch of kernel and modules; this should be
  fixed with the next daily build

- There is a known bug where some nVidia cards are configured with the
  UseFBDev option enabled, when it needs to be disabled.  Daniel Stone is
  working on a fix for this.
