You might run a script from init which check the output from lspci, and
adjust your config files accrodingly. Something like:
if [ lspci | grep -q 'VGA.*Diamond' ] ; then
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.diamond /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
else
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.intel /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
fi
and something similar with the ethernet. The ethernet I guess can be
handled with proper use of modules, though.
