So the extra-special-file route also doesn't work - meaning surely the
installed x11 does not search for any conf path within the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory as it shouldn't.
Maybe however it'd work thought an extra-special-file in the appropriate
/gnu/store subdirectory where X is installed? Or I was thinking within
the /var/lib/gdm path - that's where the conf file for fonts works and
is picked up by GDM on login. What could it be -
/var/lib/gdm/.config/xorg.conf ?
Also the xorg-configuration extra-config has some effect, as it rotates
the monitor directly after login - it just isn't picked by GDM for
login, so X picks it up when logged in, just no GDM itself.
