>Description:
When ENABLE_X11 is true in sysutils/mklivecd, /etc/X11/XF86Config is copied to the corresponding staging directory, overwriting any configuration that was created there. Live-CDs are usually built to run on a wide variety of machines, so it is IMHO illogical to force the use of an XFree configuration that has a high probabilty of being specialized to one hardware.

Maybe better is to check if /etc/X11/XF86Config exists in the staging directory and leave it as is in any case, and copy the real XF86Config, if and only if ENABLE_X11 is true but no config file has been created yet in the staging directory.
