Hello. First, we downgraded back to xorg-server-1.17.* in b52f2f640 because of compatibility issues. There's probably no strong enough reason to have 1.18 as the default before the binary drivers supports it.

I even removed it recently b559020e. If you're modifying the nixpkgs tree, you can well have a modified xorg/default.nix. Nowadays not all items in there are actually generated - a few can't be but they're still there. Or, instead of replacements.nix you can edit the file xorg/overrides.nix which is strictly more powerful anyway. (If you do this, you need no additional packageOverrides etc. That's for changing stuff *without* modifying the nixpkgs tree itself.) --Vladimir
