Quibbling:
If you drop some config files in xorg.conf.d (from "mdev-like-a-boss"),
you do not need to edit anything...although it will still be necessary
to restart X:
https://github.com/slashbeast/mdev-like-a-boss/tree/master/xorg.conf.d

Unfortunately, the author of that package has not specified a license
in that repository, although elsewhere he describes it as BSD.
