Except I didn't recommend /etc/xorg.conf and /etc/xorg.

/etc/X11 is where the X11 config bits live.  All I'm saying, is make 
the new xorg.conf.d live where all the other X11 config lives.

Why would you want to have the new config:

/etc/xorg.conf.d/*

when the existing config files are:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf
/etc/X11/fontpath.d/*
/etc/X11/xinit/*

Unless you are going to move everything:

/etc/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf
/etc/xorg.conf.d/fontpath.d/*
/etc/xorg.conf.d/xinit/*
