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)
Flagging as enhancement
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
We shouldn't change existing behavior. Perhaps just print a warning if we encounter it...
