Hi, Juergen and me have begun some preparations for the 2.6 release (there's a todo list in the wiki at http://crux.nu/Wiki/TODO26).
For our xorg ports, I've removed a couple of ancient modules that aren't in use anymore. I'm also considering shipping xorg without any core font packages (ie, drop the following packages from the iso:
xorg-font-adobe-100dpi xorg-font-adobe-75dpi xorg-font-alias xorg-font-bh-100dpi xorg-font-bh-75dpi xorg-font-bitstream-100dpi xorg-font-bitstream-75dpi xorg-font-bitstream-vera xorg-font-cursor-misc xorg-font-misc-misc
A 'fixed' font and cursor fonts are built into libXfont these days, so -cursor-misc and -misc-misc can safely be removed. IMO shipping bitstream-vera suffices for the iso -- if users wish to use core fonts like -bitstream-100dpi they can install those from ports.
Objections?
In my opinion: Remove them and go with a - out of the box - working xorg configuration.
I believe we don't need to ship any xorg configuration -- X works just fine these days if you start the X server without any xorg.conf.
