modify xorg.conf on persistent liveUSB

[joe_newbie]

I am trying to get the touchscreen working on an eeetop from a liveUSB (live USB session with persistent settings). If I can get it working well with Karmic i will do a proper install but...According to the docs included with the evtouch driver i need to add the following to my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "touchscreen"
Driver "evtouch"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
Option "DeviceName" "touchscreen"
Option "MinX" "98"
Option "MinY" "43"
Option "MaxX" "940"
Option "MaxY" "925"
Option "ReportingMode" "Raw"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "On"
EndSection



However, when I look in /etc/X11/ there is no xorg.conf !!!
And according to my /var/log/xorg.0.log, the settings x is using are from a "built-in configuration" Is there a way to modify the built in configuration either temporarily for testing purposes or permanently, given that I have persistent setting enabled?


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Newer versions of Ubuntu don't rely on xorg.conf, but nothing stops you from creating it manually. Will it work? That depends on the options you put in.

Just wanted to let people know that I have solved the problem by installing the new version of the evtouch driver. No need to modify (or create) and xorg.conf file.

Package for Karmic found here:
