yes, individual users can create/edit a .xserverrc file on 
their $HOME. that file must be executable (usually a script),
and if it exists, it will be ran to launch the X server.

this is usefull for changing options or even changing the
PATH of our Xserver. 

for instance, my .xserverrc is: 
#! /bin/sh
exec X vt08 "$@"

in this case, we could add a -bpp switch to get the
job done.
