There are all sorts of posts associated with the "Disabling mouse taps

When did Fedora/X stop using an xorg.conf file ?
It certainly isn't mentioned in the F10 release notes.
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10/en_US/What_is_New_for_Installation_and_Live_Images.html#X_Window_system_-_graphics
How and where are the X system settings set and held now ?
Thanks
With the release of Xorg 1.5, the X server is capable of running without
an xorg.conf file for many video cards, but not all. And as you
mentioned, many of the settings for devices have defaults that are not
appropriate for everyone.
Therefore, the xorg.conf file is used more for exceptions than the rule,
now days, but it is still very much in use.
So yes, for some combinations of video card, monitor, keyboard, and
mouse, the 1.5 Xorg server can work without an xorg.conf file. For
other combinations, the config file is still needed.
Good Luck!
