Public bug reported: With x11 not running, this was executed: "Xorg -configure". It should simply build a configuration file. The output below appears in the terminal with an error. It manages to create a config file anyway, but what it creates causes "startx" to fall over. So I am forced to run x11 without a config file (which is a problem for me because I have two displays and need to change the RightOf/LeftOf setting).
