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