Yes, the server should (and does, I believe) accept '-config'.  I was 
extrapolating from the gtf program which I had just fixed and which can 
output mode lines for either fbdev or X and accepts:

	-f, --fbmode			output fbdev-style mode information
	-x, --xorgmode, --xf86mode	output XFree86-style mode information

In cases where '-xf86<foo>' can be safely converted to '-foo', we should 
certainly do that as well as accepting -xf86<foo> and perhaps -xorg<foo> as
synonyms.

I can go back through the changes I made and check for other command line 
argument changes to see if I did something screwy...
