Like Xorg on all other platforms, it will use /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it exists,
or config snippets in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ but the default configuration
doesn't use a config file, but lets Xorg check for available video devices
and uses its internal mapping of PCI vendor ids to drivers to decide which
drivers to use for those.
