Re: port-amd64/45234: Xorg -configure fails on amd64 (-current as 8.8.2001, 5.99.55)

It was a bug in the new X server, I checked in a fix. It should work now.

Xorg -configure is basically unsupported upstreams and has a lot of
issues with some modules.

The approach it uses (loading all modules at once to see which one
matches the current card) is flawed. It was useful while ISA boards
were supported, but since this support has been removed, it should be
fixed to just do what is done when running without a config file and
output the running config.

Although when auto-detection uses wrong resolution/hz defaults, what
could be done then (not all modes may be detected and available via
xrandr)?  With X -configure the defaults get listed so that they're
then easily editable by the user.
