Bug#260104: xserver-common: Too many server config files?

["Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dg@treblig.org>]

Package: xserver-common
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: wishlist

Hi,
  As an observation there are a lot of different places that the Xserver
is configured and that this complicates the process of finding errors in
the configuration - the ones I'm aware of are:

  /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
  /etc/X11/serverconfig
  /etc/X11/xserver
  /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc

and probably some to do with particular display managers as well.
It seems to be that it would be nice to slim some of these down if
possible.
