I thought about that.  In fact, I implemented something along the line 
but threw it away because 1) I was not sure of its expected behavior, 
2) it is intertwined with syscons and I was afraid of breaking it, 3) 
it just hides Xserver problem (i.e., mixed uses of static/auto 
configurations) from an OS driver, 4) it does not provide fix for 
release users, 5) possible POLA violations, etc.
