config: warning in default xorg.conf.d snippet: do not enable by default
see discussion: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403003 distributions should not ship the module enabled by default, because a lot of users have the joystick module installed without knowing, resulting in confusion and bad user experience when trying to play games, the more likely usecase when plugging in a joystick. the default configuration only fits for a limited number of users. it does not make much sense to automatically enable hotplugging of the module without explicit user consent and reviewing of the configuration.
