As for X, it should be quite painless with the possible exception of getting the config (XF86Config) right - the first time I did it, it caused me much swearing and gnashing of teeth, but here recently it's gotten so painless that I don't really remember it very well. That could be because it's gotten much easier, or because I've gotten used to it, the truth probly landing somewhere in the middle.
