I guess we can close it. The problem is a pretty well known issue.
We've several bug reports about both the core issue and the side-effect
usability issues caused by the workarounds.

Agreed. Today we've pretty much eliminated 99% of the need for manual
xorg.conf editing, this virtual thing is one of the last 1% bits still
remaining. There is work in progress upstream that will finally solve
it, but it requires pretty significant architectural changes (including
kernel mode-setting), which will take time to be completed and
stabilized sufficiently for us.
