7 Q: What do you need the custom xconfig for?

9 You might find that life is easier if you remove
10 the xorg.conf, switch to evdev as the input, and
11 see what happens. If you really, really need
12 something you can probably just handle in your
13 .xinitrc or .Xdefaults. If neither of those will
14 work create a barebones config with "X -configure"
15 and add the minimum to it.
16
17 xorg.conf behaves just like an attic: it accumulates
18 things that noone wants to throw out becuse they
19 "might be useful". Taking the time to clean the
20 thing out -- along with your .Xdefaults, .xinitrc,
21 .fvwm[2]rc -- is a worthwhile part of running a
22 machine.
