Apparently Xorg-configure does not work on all platforms…


⋯:/etc/X11# Xorg -configure

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
	If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
	and start again.


Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support 
	 at http://wiki.x.org
 for help.

 From man Xorg
      -configure
               When this option is specified, the Xorg server loads all video driver modules,
               probes  for  available  hardware,  and writes out an initial xorg.conf(5) file
               based on what was detected.  This option currently has some problems  on  some
               platforms,  but  in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the configuration
               process.  This option is only available when the server is run as  root  (i.e,
               with real-uid 0).

And why won't you fix this.  It is a major pain to have to reset screen
resolution, and repair the desktop each time the x-server is started?
