Package: xorg
Version: all
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

In the new versions of xorg, an xorg.conf is not always created, depending on 
what video driver you're using.  It would be nice if an informational xorg.conf 
was created explaining the following:

xorg can use files ending in the suffix .conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d for 
additional configuration.  It is preferred to use an <empty xorg.conf> and 
create files (e.g. 20-nvidia.conf, 20-radeon.conf, 20-wacom.conf) there in 
order to configure a single device.  You might have to create the directory 
yourself (mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d).  See also "man 5 xorg.conf". 

That way, when you have folks that are expecting their x config to be in 
xorg.conf, they will have something pointing them to the new structure of the 
xorg.conf.d directory structure. 

Thanks for your time.
