Hi,

I'm not experiencing any problem but I had some questions for more experienced people about 8.10 and what's new in it.

I must say, 8.10 is amazing with its hardware support out of the box. It was up, running, and fully configured in <20 mins. Even the fglrx driver from the restricted drivers GUI was great (but people should know that a kernel update though synaptic is necessary first).

So I was looking at xorg.conf and realized it's different. It seems like X11 is moving away from the xorg.conf because my mouse, keyboard, and some video settings aren't even listed in there. Where did the settings go. Suppose I want to modify my mouse settings, what would I have to do now?

Thanks,
Iyad K
