Not really. We all get comfortable with different layouts. I install
Xorg in /opt, but the config is in /etc/X11. My xorg.conf is a bit more
than the default because I use the proprietary Nvidia driver and have
two monitors. For me, I have /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d as a link pointing to
/opt/xorg/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. The only thing there is an evdev
entry. I suppose I could put the xorg.conf file in xorg.conf.d or
conversely import the evdev entries into xorg.conf, however it is hard
to rationalize changing a working system.
