[SOLVED] xorg configuration inquiry.

I agree, IF IT DOESN'T WORK. In my case, the Nvidia xorg works fine.

You need to delete the input device lines in the global config list and then also delete the sections for each of the keyboard and mouse configs.

i'm just wondering about this.. if we delete the lines that configure the mouse and the keyboard configs what will handle the configurations for the mouse and keyboard?

Hal does that, just like it does when no xorg.conf is present. Anything in the conf file is simply an override to hal's information.
