I'm not sure why this sentence mentions the configuration file at all.

Currently this reads:

"It may be convenient to specify server options with startx to change  on  a 
per-session  basis  the default color depth, the server’s notion of the number 
of dots-per-inch the display device presents, or take advantage of a different 
server layout,  as  permitted  by the  Xorg(1) server and specified in the 
xorg.conf(5) file."

I'm not sure how xorg.conf tells you anything useful about server options you 
can supply via startx?
