What exactly are you trying to configure?  For years now, X.org's
intend has been that *no* configuration should be necessary for the
majority of setups.

The old approach of using "X -configure" to create a basic xorg.conf
which is then tweaked is as obsolete as modeline calculators.

Yes, "X -configure" is broken, unnecessary, and may never get fixed.
