I think it is not good idea. Autoconfiguration is generally better than
manual but in some cases autoconfiguration cannot help you. Examples:
- your xyz driver is broken and you want use vesa temporarily
- you want use some external module (like vnc module)
- you are user who needs fine-grained configuration (autoconfiguration
is good for masses but sometimes people needs more)
Best should be use autoconfiguration as much as possible but preserve
and create minimal xorg.conf.
