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.
