I guess that the option line might help, but I've been running without a conf file for my testing. Normally, I do use a conf file, but only to stop it using glamor and hence to remove one '(EE)' from the log.

Even on real hardware (radeon Aruba, modesetting from 16.99 server earlier this year) - fortunately, the 7.5 ati driver solved the problem I had been seeing with the 7.4 version (high CPU usage when Xorg idle). ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early.
