[PATCH weston] man: weston --xserver has been replaced

Any ideas on what to do about xorg.conf?

I think the ideal solution is to make the "special X.org server" just 
not read any configuration files at all. My impression is that the need 
to use one to load wlshm on my system is an easily-fixed bug. And it 
would seem that any need for "configuration" would indicate a failure of 
Wayland's api to provide necessary information.

Unless something is done to make it ignore existing xorg.conf and 
xorg.conf.d files, it will be impossible to run Wayland on a machine 
where the user may also want to run old-style X11. Although in the end 
this is probably unimportant when everybody runs wayland, I think it is 
a show-stopper bug for any initial adoption of wayland.
