xserver problems

[Bill Spitzak]

Though I agree that the built-in default should load the wlshm driver if 
needed, this is not the problem I am trying to fix.

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf file contains 'Driver "nv"'. This causes the 
wayland xserver to fail. This will happen whether or not wlshm or wlegl 
drivers are needed. I suspect there is a lot of other crap in my 
xorg.conf that will mess up the wayland xserver, not just this driver line.

I can "hide" the file by making a dummy one and using environment 
variables so that when the server is launched it finds the dummy. But it 
is impossible to make it used the compiled-in default (as the patch 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf is hard-wired into it and it will always find it).
