It is not - we're trying to remove the need to have one for many people,
by having reasonable defaults & hardware autodetection, and for those
who want/need one, to make it just specify the non-default settings they
want instead of repeating all the built-in defaults, but we're not dropping
it altogether.

I believe it's now on by default, so commenting it out just tells the X
server to use the default setting of on.
