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?
