How to use/overide xorg.conf in Intrepid
I've read a number of posts on the now (->in Intrepid) vanilla xorg.conf file. I found that everything works ok with the plug&play server, installed system from scratch right from the CD, no tweaking, X comes up just fine. BUT, 1024x768 only, and I think no 3D acceleration (it's hard to say on my 5 year old Thinkpad R40 with ATI Mobility Radeon M7).
Trying to understand:
1. How do I determine which driver is being used, given my vanilla xorg.conf?
2. The comments in the xorg.conf suggest that even if I make changes there, these will be ignored. So how do I override the "automatically configured by server" piece? Comments on this forum have stated that any changes "might be ignored anyway".
