Did Xorg -configure work in a previous version? if so, which one?

I remember to have used this, so it must have worked in the past.
Don't remember the exact version though.
I suspect the single-qxl-card-multihead merge broke it.
I'm closing this bug as a duplicate of 951000 since the main complaint, "configuration via xorg.conf stopped working" is fixed. I'll create a new bug via clone for the regression of "Xorg -configure" stopped working, if someone thinks it should be a blocker, then please set flags accordingly.
