Hi

Can we replace default xorg.conf with empty one? I finally got X11 working on AArch64 just to notice that I have to remove xorg.conf file to get them started.

In OE/classic defaults were "usable" for any random hardware...

I'm all for removing xorg.conf wherever it's possible assuming it still works. The default should be no xorg.conf with machine overrides where required.

I also support this. I have override it in our internal layer to make it more generic.

I'm all for removal. Machine should add their xorg.conf taking into consideration a specific driver or some other needed configurations.
