just wanted to add a little color to this discussion (and i should not 
that use /etc/X11/xorg.conf frequently out of habit as well) but you no 
longer need to supply a fully Xorg configuration.  X will look under 
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ for config snippets.  for example here's 
a snippet to enable amdgpu on a system:

Section "OutputClass"
     Identifier "AMDgpu"
     MatchDriver "amdgpu"
     Driver "amdgpu"


from an admin perspective this is pretty sweet as now i only have to 
deploy overrides for the default configuration as autodetection works 
pretty well these days.  also, when you install additional xf86 packages 
(like xf86-video-amdgpu or xf86-input-libinput) example configs are 
dropped here for reference:

/usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

cheers,
