Log message:
   486. Add "automatic configuration" support for the XFree86 server, allowing
        it to be started in a useful way without an XF86Config file.
         - Add support to the config file parser for processing internally
           supplied configuration data.
         - Modify the algorithm for finding core input devices to maximise the
           likelihood that they will be found.
         - Add a FindDevice function to the OSMouse interface, allowing
           an OS-specific function to be called to find the mouse device when
           none is specified in the configuration.  Implementations included for
           Linux and FreeBSD.
         - Add a GuessProtocol function to the OSMouse interface, allowing
           an OS-specific function to be called as a fallback when the mouse
           protocol can't otherwise be detected.  Implementation included for
           Linux.
         - Bump the OSMouse interface version to 1.1 with the addition of the
           above two functions.
         - An interface for calling an external utility "getconfig" to generate
           some configuration data.  Implementation of getconfig included.
         - Generate a default internal configuration, autodetecting as much
           as possible, with reasonable fallbacks.
         - Recognise "DefaultDepth" and "DefaultFbbpp" options in the Device
           section.
         - Add a "TargetRefreshRate" option to help prevent modes with too
           high a resolution (and poor refresh rate) being used as the default.
         - Use DDC-probed mode timings to estimate the monitor parameters when
           the DDC-probed information doesn't include a DS_RANGES property.
           This should improve the reliability of monitor auto-detection.
