Hi,

you can use different cards in each machine by having a '.xserverrc' file
that looks like:

exec /usr/X11R6/bin/<cardSpecificDriver>

this should be in the home direcrtory of the person starting X11
check the /usr/X11R6/bin/startx script for details.

you can have machine specific XF86Config files by either placing them
in /etc (which is searched for first) or appending the machine's network name
to the one in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 (which is searched for 2nd), see the
XF86Config man page for details.
