Yes, this gives an absolutely bare-bones xorg.conf with one
"section"  in it:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

It works; and in fact, even without any xorg.conf, it works also.

I understand now that the goal of the recent changes was to get
rid of xorg.conf, because X should get the information it needs
from elsewhere, and automatically.

So far so good, but.. with this "skeleton" xorg.conf,
control-alt-backspace for getting out of X no longer works. What I
did was to insert, as the first section in xorg.conf, a
"ServerFlags" section:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option "DontZap"        "off"
EndSection

By this means I got control-alt-backspace back. Or is there also a
non-xorg.conf way of getting the same thing?
