I would hardly call this "recommended", but it works for me (tm) :P

I left out the stuff concerning the mouse and keyboard and modules, this seemed like the most important stuff.

Have no idea, I only have a CRT TV connected, but while I had a NTSC CRT TV and
a 15" LCD monitor connected at the same time, I had to comment in/out the
"VBEModes" to get the monitor to work.
With it commented out, the monitor works, comment it in, and the TV works (that
was my experience at least.

Hope that helps.
