xserver command-line and config includes - or ATI driver workaround

I'm looking for a work-around for the ATI driver - specifically the
mutually exclusive modes of OpenGLOverlay and VideoOverlay.
My existing method is to manually edit xorg.conf and change the
appropriate yes/no options in the driver section. I would like a better
way.
The options I've come up with are:
* alternate "startx" scripts that pass the options on the command-line
* alternate "startx" scripts that adjust file-links to different
config files
* alternate "startx" scripts that adjust environment variables that
are referenced in the config file
I know how to do the file-link method - I just think it's ugly. Is
there a way of doing one of the others - or maybe someone has a better
suggestion? I'd also like to be able to do this from a gdm/kdm - but I
don't think it's possible since the xserver settings are read when
gdm/kdm start.
