Yeah, that's why I picked the 'secondary' path supported by the server
so that a directory in /etc/X11 would completely override these files.
Sounds like we need to fix the server config file search path to look in
a sensible place rather than $(prefix)/etc/X11
This is untested, but I think the patch below is all it would take to
add support for a second system directory in $prefix/lib/X11 with
lowest priority.
This is already in {USER,ROOT}_CONFIGDIRPATH, shouldn't it be removed
from there if we add a new search path?
Yeah, probably. It was more of a proof of concept patch. Now would be
the best time to look at those standard search paths and make them
sane. There's no real reason to repeat the nonsense in the xorg.conf
searching.
I posted a patch series which addresses most of these shortcomings, I
think. See 1270312431-11197-1-git-send-email-dbn.li...@gmail.com.

I'm not entirely sure that using only one xorg.conf.d directory is the
right plan.
It might be hard to make it do the right thing with the command line
-configdir option, but all that code is pretty goofy and I would guess
not used much anymore. But as long as all the files end up in one
xorg.conf.d, the server will keep looking along all the myriad paths
detailed in xorg.conf(5) till it finds one.
Here's what I think would be more sane (assuming --sysconfdir=/etc):
xorg.conf:
1. For root, full path from -config
2. For any user, /etc/X11 + path basename from -config
3. /etc/X11/xorg.conf
xorg.conf.d:
1. For root, full path from -configdir
2. For any user, /etc/X11 + path basename from -configdir
3. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
Export the default in xorg-server.pc:
confdir=${sysconfdir}/X11/xorg.conf.d
Then it's straightforward to know where the right location is.
