xorg.conf is ASCII today afaik so it could be converted to UTF-8 in a
backwards compatible fashion. Once that's done you could implement a
small check that detects this and prints a nice error or even accepts
the non-"ASCII 34" double quotes.

I think a lot of people feel that fixing the quotes would be like
"treating the symptoms" instead of "finding the cure". The real fix is
to make sure that no xorg.conf editing should be necessary for any
mainstream use case at all. Lots of people are working very hard at
getting to that point and just in X server release 1.6.0 we made
enormous progress.

** Summary changed:

- xorg can't handle the character: ”
+ xorg doesn't recognize the non-ASCII variant of character ” in xorg.conf

-- 
xorg doesn't recognize the non-ASCII variant of character ” in xorg.conf
