Interesting that "X -help" doesn't say anything about this option.

Interesting that there is no X(1) manpage.
There is no x(1) manpage.

There is an Xserver(1) manpage.  It calls itself XSERVER(1) but that
isn't its name, nor is xserver(1).  Its synopsys says that it is
invoked as "X" (with options).  But it does not say anything about
-configure.

There is an Xorg(1) manpage that is distinct from Xserver(1).  Its
synopsis says that it is invoked as "Xorg".  It does document a
-configure option.

xorg.conf(5) does not mention that "Xorg -configure" might be
interesting.

It turns out that /usr/bin/X is a symlink to /usr/bin/Xorg.  There
does not seem to be an executable file called Xserver

Rather a mess.

Yeah.  "Xorg -help" prints 115 lines to stderr.  If you want to see
them, you need to use a pager.  And do redirection.  Like:
	Xorg 2>&1 | less
Very friendly.  And it doesn't list -configure

How do you figure them out?
