Hi,


Hello Celejar.

My xorg.conf files used to have sections such as these:
[... sections snipped ...]
My current xorg.conf doesn't.  I seem to recall reading on this list
that current xorg.conf's are simpler, but where did all the
configuration options go?  Am I supposed to add back the sections that
I need manually, in order to set the options that I need? E.g., currently my Synaptics touchpad's scrollbar is inoperable.


Yes, you'll need to add those sections back. Your current xorg.conf might actually work. X allows for alternate configuration files under /etc/X11, so your "old" xorg.conf can be named xorg-old.conf, and you could start it like so:

startx -- :1 -config xorg-old.conf

If that works, you have a good candidate for the real xorg.conf; if not, you can continue adjusting the file till it does work.

Someone was nice enough to post this link for me: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12
