Most X servers, even those which do not have specific configuration files, can use the directory specified by SERVER_MISC_CONFIG_PATH when they have either the XSECURITY or XSELINUX extensions enabled, or when support for DTRACE is enabled at build time, because this is also where the "protocol.txt" file is searched for at runtime. Unfortunately, the SERVER_MISC_CONFIG_PATH is set from serverconfigdir which is hardcoded in the build system to "$prefix/$libdir/xorg", and all X server builds share the same path. That makes it harder for different X servers such as Xwayland to install in the same path without sharing the same server configuration path (and hence the same "protocol.txt" file). Allow for the customization of server configuration path from the build options so that different X servers can use completely different and independent paths.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
