At the moment xorg.conf is handled within the xserver-xorg .bb file.

As xorg.conf varies per machine this will effectively make xserver-xorg
machine specific which sort of defeats the purpose of a module xorg.

My suggestion is to move xorg.conf out of xserver-xorg. Then add a
RRECOMMEND_${PN} = "xserver-xorg-conf" to xserver-xorg.

Is this a sane plan?
