Hi,
This is normal, no reason to change tazx.
/etc/init.d/system.sh
Line 90 =>tazbox boot
Starts xorg-server before
Line 135=> tazx config-xorg 2>/var/log/xorg.configure.log
fi
If xorg-server is able to auto-configure screen 0 when it's started by Line 90
When tazx runs X -configure it fails because xorg-server has screen 0 running
When X -configure fails there is no xorg.conf.new
This results in these files being blank:
10-ServerLayout
20-Files
30-Module
40-evdev
40-keyboard
50-Monitor
60-Device
70-Screen.conf

/var/log/xorg.configure.log :
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 1
	If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X1-lock
	and start again.

Testing with 4.0-RC3 20120316 4in1 rolling iso :

Nvidia 8400gs:
Boots to desktop with included nv driver,direct rendering with
software. Installing the nvidia-173xx driver, provides direct
rendering to hardware with no additional depends.

Ati "HD5450" "Radeon 9550" "rage2c" :
Boots to desktop with vesa driver,installation of ati driver provides
direct rendering with software.
No direct rendering to hardware solution.

Intel 945GM/GMS Dell Inspiron E1505:
Frequently freezes on boot requiring hard poweroff unless nomodeset is used..
When it will boot (1 of 5 attempts)without locking up it has direct
rendering to hardware.
When booting nomodeset it will get a screen using the vesa driver only.
intel driver fails to get screen.

My recommendation is go back to xorg-server-light , which does not
have libdrm,linux-drm as depends, omit the dri stuff, but leave
xorg-xf86-video-{intel nv ati} drivers.

Unless someone is able to get the xfce flavor to boot on hardware
please remove it from the mirrors.
