Some of these options work only from command line, like -dpi for example, you can specify DPI with nvidia driver but if you do the same with other then nvidia driver in xorg.conf it just do not work.

As I already had toadd CLI options I do not bothered in searching xorg.conf equivalents of these.

The nohup ${COMMAND} > /dev/null 2>&1 & is to start a process in background without nailing it ti this console (nohup) so you may CTRL-D safely on this terminal without killing X11.
