Nah it's got the same info but put in a different way by the code which
generated the X-org conf. I have no doubt it's the same on windows but that
on windows, such things are simply kept hidden from you so coz you don't
need to bother your sweet little user head about such things.

There is a simple solution which is to simply write the x conf yourself.
It's not hard & then you can adopt whatever style etc you like.
