I think this patch is good to go. My take is that it could be refactored into xf86HandleConfigFile to fill in all the missing sections in one go, but this definitely works for now.

    xfree86: Handle driver autoconfiguration when .conf files exist
    
    When doing driver autoconfiguration with some parts of the config file
    present but no driver set (e.g. only input configuration) fix the case
    that we may have multiple drivers to try.
    
    Create a screen section for each driver and let them be tried in a row.
