[PATCH 00/15] xserver: cleanup and standardize startup options

Hi fellows,

Our culture is turning "-option" the default syntax for arguments to be passed
to the server. This patch set tries to standardize the rest of arguments that
are not on such shape yet, removing some superfluous ones and also doing some
other janitor work around.

I tried to be very conservative in this patchset, avoiding to do major
changes on behaviour. I have another patchset queued here to do more
"surgical" inspection, for instance removing things like -noacpi or
-disableVidMode options, which IMHO are not useful at all. But I'll let this
discussion to afterwards.


I appreciate your review!
