Hi Hartmut,

it seems you - as myself - not such a great fan of fireworks an endless
parties at Sylvester ???
...1.Januar and hacking the computer at this time...six o'clock in the
morning.... ;) ;) ;)

I have copied my /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d to /etc/X11 and have
restored the original file than in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/.
You are right: it is better to leave it untouched. When updateing
the chance is given, that it will be overwritten...

Is "Option-wise" the 1.8 upgrade guide complete or is it a list
of "commonly used" settings... ?

Keep hacking! :)
