Persistent Configuration Options For X.Org Drivers

,----[ Quote ]
| When it comes to proprietary drivers, AMD has almost completely eliminated 
| their dependence on the xorg.conf and NVIDIA too is eliminating their need of 
| this method for configuring the X server. With the fglrx Linux driver, 
| ATI/AMD has developed the AMDPCSDB, or the AMD Persistent Configuration Store 
| Data-Base. The AMDPCSDB, which is somewhat modeled after the Windows 
| registry, is their proprietary replacement for managing all persistent 
| display/graphics-related options. Values for overrode options like 
| anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering are written to this persistent 
| configuration store as well as the layout and configuration of multiple 
| screens. All of these AMD options are applied in real-time and will remain 
| persistent upon rebooting the computer or X if it's been written to the  
| AMDPCSDB.
