I correct you :) X has already all the necessary stuff to configure
itself: just type X -configure and it will generate a configuration file
you can then tweak. What's missing is a way to just run without any
config file (generate an internal config and use it), or with a config
file containing only user preferences (resolution, depth, screens
placement for multiscreens, etc..)
