-# This program should be run during boot time. It quickly examines the
-# graphics cards (read: PCI devices) in the computer and compares they to
-# the list in the file $hardware_info_filename. If the two lists differ
-# then the Debian package manager is automatically called to regenerate
-# /etc/X11/xorg.conf. This hopefully should mean that people can swap gfx
-# cards in and out and always have a system that will run Xorg. (even
-# though the config will be most likely be suboptimal. Suboptimal is better
-# than no X server).
