Hi Larry!

I am no expert but no one has stepped up for eight hours so I hope I
can get things started.

FC5 has several init scripts in the /etc/init.d folder (if memory
serves - will be init.d). One of them starts X and any X using run
level will use it.  The modification of that script is for
intermediate scripters or better.  It follows certian rules init must
be happy with and the procedures to change it are involved.

My first thought - it would be a bit of a long haul.

My second is to Google heavy "automatic X - or autoconfig X - etc.."
and also find and search or even join a few X related mail lists -
developement if you can find it.

X needs more automation as your issue points to I think.  Send a bug,
suggest a feature.  We do need what you want I do believe!

Good Hunting!
