The problem is that there are ten screens of command line options to be 
understood, and it gets some of its information by probing, rather than user 
input. Much of the information, such as that needed to use --layout, is in the 
xorg.conf man page, which makes for a painful process figuring out what options 
are needed just to generate xorg.conf with the right stanzas to edit.
