[PATCH] xfree86: Handle driver autoconfiguration when .conf files exist

From: Ruediger Oertel <ro at suse.de>

When doing driver autoconfiguration with some parts of the config file
present but no driver set (e.g. only input configuration) fix the case
that we may have multiple drivers to try.

Create a screen section for each driver and let them be tried in a row.

 Keith, I think this is good to go. Ruediger, I cleaned up cleaned up the
 commit message a bit so you'd get authorship and added your S-o-b.
