I've having trouble starting X with the recent git's xserver. It seems
to be caused by the commit below ... or is there a new option that
needed for the new xserver?
Thanks,
Jeff.

Don't require that the screen explicitly attach the device section
This will allow the screen to not explicitly have a device section. If
this is the case and there is a device section in the xorg.conf, the first
one will be used. If there is no device section at all, a default one will
be created that loads the automatically determined module.
Here's the output of /usr/adm/Xorg.0.log ...
(==) ServerLayout "Simple Layout"
(**) |-->Screen "Screen X60" (0)
(**) | |-->Monitor "<default monitor>"
(==) No device specified for screen "Screen X60".
Using the first device section listed.
(**) | |-->Device "Device X60"
I've only one section for "Screen" and one for "Device", but it looks
it's skipping even the known one.
