           Summary: X.org accepts duplicate entries in xorg.conf : that
                    leads to misc bugs ...
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: App/other
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: benoit at demaine.info


I am used to have the server layout paragraph at the end ox XF86config, so that
when i did not saw any at the end of xorg.conf, I added one.

In fact, xorg only considered the first one at the top, and any changes in the
second one were innefficient.

I think that it would help many ppl ( especially newbies) if x.org produced a
significant error ( why not a fatal one ? as long as it says where is the double
declaration) when there are duplicate entries ( with same title and name) ( like
when compiling C code with double declaration of a variable with same cast)
