function LegacyXOrgConfCreator
% LegacyXOrgConfCreator - Automatically create X11 config files for old X-Servers.
%
% This it the legacy version for X-Server 1.20 and earlier, Mesa 21.x and earlier,
% running Linux 5.14 and earlier. It gets called by XOrgConfCreator on such older
% setups. The plan is to not touch this file in the future anymore.
%
% This friendly little setup assistant will analyze your systems graphics
% card and display setup, then ask you questions about how you want your
% display setup configured. Then it will create a configuration file to
% setup your displays in the desired way after the next logout -> login
% cycle, or after the next reboot of your machine.
%
% Files are stored by default in a configuration directory where the
% XOrgConfSelector helper script can find and apply them.
%
% Please note that this assistant can't yet handle systems with multiple
% active graphics cards properly. It is only for regular single graphics
% card setups or hybrid graphics laptops with one active graphics card.
%
% In order for the assistant to detect and handle all potentially useful
% displays you must have all of them connected and active at the time the
% assistant is run.
%

% History:
% 04-Nov-2015  mk  Written.
% 25-Apr-2016  mk  Add support for selection of modesetting ddx on XOrg 1.18+
% 28-Aug-2016  mk  Add basic hybrid graphics setup support.
% 09-Jun-2017  mk  Add 30 bpp framebuffer support and 16 bpc framebuffer support
%                  on AMD Sea Islands gpus, to simplify setup of high color bit
%                  depth framebuffers.
% 11-Jun-2022  mk  Only handle systems with legacy XOrg X-Server 1.20 or earlier.
%                  Freeze this file in maintenance mode from now on, until removal
%                  in a few years.
