   I used to not have a lot of config info in there but there are a few   
   things now.. Some high refresh rate screens won't default to their highest   
   settings so you have X dump all the modelines it knows and then force the   
   right one as an option you can use with PreferredMode.   
      
   Or if you have multiple screens you can throw in a Primary screen setting   
   and RightOf/LeftOf setting if they don't default to the right spot.   
      
   If you get tearing in videos, usually anti-tear settings go in there too.   
   (for AMD it's "TearFree" in the Device section)   
      
   Standby, suspend, blanktime, etc all go there I think..   
      
   None of those are absolutely required though since mine does at least go   
   into the correct resolution (just not a buttery smooth refresh rate :) )
