I'm almost positive that the graphics issue no longer applies. SL6 
doesn't create an xorg.conf by default, but builts it every boot during 
device detection (and still doesn't trust the BIOS/UEFI, fortunately).

initramfs... I think that is a static thing now, unless I'm thinking of 
something else.

Anyway, neither was the case back in earlier versions (not sure about 5, 
but I think 4 built a concrete xorg.conf to-rule-them-all)
