>Description:

Since recent changes postinstall(8) overwrites /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers after
every install. This file is more like /etc/ttys and /etc/fstab, it has
local modifications in a lot of my installations and there is no easy way
(like rc.conf) to override X server options, and some of them (like -listen)
seem to have no equivalent in xorg.conf.

>How-To-Repeat:
s/a

>Fix:
n/a
