i have patched filetype.vim again. As there are certain newly '.d/'

Xorg uses a configuration file called xorg.conf and files  end‐

initial setup.

I have tested those changes as good as i can and they worked for me.

I would prefer to keep the direct file names, those are the ones that 
are mostly used.  This applies to /etc/apt/sources.list and 
/etc/limits.  For the last one you changed it to limits.conf.

Recent openSUSE Linux distros (at least the 11.4 released on the 10th 
of this month) use the following:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-mouse.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-screen.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-vmmouse.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keytable.conf

On 11.3, synaptics and wacom are prefixed by 20- instead of 50- ; I don't 
have an installed openSUSE 11.2 or earlier anymore.

The monolithic /etc/X11/xorg.conf seems to be a thing of the past, at least 
on the distro I'm using.

Same on Gentoo.

The '{program}.conf' or '{program}.d/*.conf' or 
'{program}.conf.d/*.conf' paradigm is pretty widespread.

My home Gentoo system has 84 such directories under /etc/.
My work OpenSUSE 11.3 system has 75 of them.
A Debian 6 VM (with very few non-default packages installed) has 64 of them.
[Tested with: find /etc/ -name '*.d' -type d | wc -l]

Perhaps it would be easier to simply fire off another autocmd to detect 
based on an altered name?

So, instead of hardcoding:

au BufNewFile,BufRead */xorg{,.conf.d/*}.conf{,-4} setf xf86conf

Go back to:

au BufNewFile,BufRead xorg.conf{,-4} setf xf86conf

but also have (not sure how to actually do this):

au BufNewFile,BufRead *{,.conf}.d/*.conf call 
DetectFiletypeAgainst(substitute('\%(\.conf\)\=\.d/[^/]\+\.conf','.conf','',''))
" e.g. when called on '/etc/xorg.conf.d/10-foo.conf', would detect 
" filetype against '/etc/xorg.conf'
" /etc/ConsoleKit/seats.d/00-primary.seat -> /etc/ConsoleKit/seats.seat

Definitely missing some corner-case stuff, but that seems more 
maintainable than the current way.
