Looks like this will probably top-post, or perhaps not have any quoted
material...I'm using mobile device at the moment, my apologies.
The last time I had to mess with anything Xorg was with the xorg.conf filr,
but that may well have been 10+ years ago.  I've probably forgotten more
than I ever knew about it now.  The conf file vs. conf.d directory has
become a common motif these days. I use the /etc/apt/sources.list.d
directory extensively on my system; it is the same principle (other than
not being optional).  Thanks for all the info, Felix, I have learned a lot,
though this was not originally my thread.  Hopefully, the OP has learned
some as well.

xorg.conf is an optional file that is unnecessary and not present for the
vast
majority of users for all generations of Xorg going back too far to
remember,
probably getting close to 10 years, maybe longer. The primary and large
exception is users of proprietary NVidia driver users.

I don't know of any reason why a fresh Stretch installation to Intel gfx
would
have xorg.conf. He wouldn't be overwriting an existing unless he created it
himself.

Both xorg.conf and xorg.conf.d/ are optional. Most distros either create an
empty xorg.conf.d/, or populate one with a small number of tweaks specific
to
various combinations of hardware and/or software. A common one contains
exclusively keyboard configuration. Mine enables Ctrl-Alt-BS, which IIRC is
disabled by default in upstream Xorg.

xorg.conf is a comprehensive file. xorg.conf.d/ is designed for presence of
multiple files, each optional, each designed to address specific components.
IIRC, presence in xorg.conf.d/ inconsistent with anything in xorg.conf if it
exists overrides it.
