It allows for changing configurations very easily... without having to
reconfigure everything...

Would not
the 'probe always at start' be slower compared to have to read from
xorg.conf?
I know that Xorg is not going to be started again and again, but is
there any reason to not have a config file?

Hi!
So there's no .xorg.conf in /etc/X11 like there was in Solaris /
SolarisExpress (at least not after image-update). So where do I find
the
default .xorg.conf ?
There is no default xorg.conf on any release of Solaris. All of them
probe your hardware and autodetect settings by default.
What you see in /etc/X11/.xorg.conf on some releases is generated by
running
Xorg -configure at boot time, before X starts, and is only used to
provide
a template for xorgcfg to edit - the X server knows nothing about it.
If you want to make your own xorg.conf, our advice has always been to
drop
to command line mode (which on 2008.05 means "svcadm disable gdm"),
login
and run /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure (as root or with pfexec/sudo).
