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
