Yes, that's obviously a problem. Personally, I would be for a more
'strongly-typed' config file: every entry must belong to a section.
The sections would be: system, graphics, keyboard, mouse, sound, joystick,
timer (I'm going to add an option to disable the multi-threaded timer under
Windows) and grabber, plus custom ones (fb_mode_XxY already exists).

I agree. But the current code passes NULL for the system, graphics, keyboard
and mouse drivers !

I don't see any reason for using such global settings.
