Running X as user root is nothing you should use. Therefore the
warning message and the advice to use the '-nostart' option if you
want to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

To avoid confusion as far as possible, grml2hd even checks for
existence of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and creates one on request (default
== yes).

Sure, as you have to write files you are not allowed to modify
without root-permissions. On live-cd that's not a problem at all,
but on hd-install it's deactivated for security reasons.
