It seems messy having to create a whole xorg.conf just for one parameter

Sure (the xorg.conf.d snippets are simply concatenated together with
xorg.conf, so anything can go in either of them), but it's the wrong way
to do it. :)

The xorg.conf.d mechanism is for shipping snippets required for a driver
or other Xorg module to work out of the box. xorg.conf is still the
place for actual configuration.
