Actually, I gave some thought to this, and decided that since xorg.conf.failsafe is so obscure of a file, if someone did overwrite it, it would likely have been for a good reason, and that overwriting it would perhaps be rude.

For instance, this file assumes the "vesa" driver will work on their hardware, but that is not true in all situations. Perhaps they edit it to change to fbdev or something else. Shouldn't we respect whatever they specify?
