I'm doing some final cleaning up of the X.org migration's impact on
sysinstall.  At the moment what sysinstall tries to use to configure
X.org appears to be useless - it runs "xorgcfg" with no arguments
which seems to successfully start the server but then just sits there
with nothing else happening.

As part of merging in the X.org setup to begin with Eric seemed
in favor of eliminating the X server config from sysinstall completely.
There are lots of holes in lots of feet caused by this step failing.
That or other options that fix the basic problem in a more complex
way can be discussed for future releases.

For now I'm thinking we should just rip out the offer sysinstall makes
for doing a graphical configuration and leave it at that for the 5.3
release.  The text mode configuration appears to work.

Any thoughts?
