Recently I did an install of Fedora Core 6. I went to modify the
config file and I was suprised to find not much there. Most was
dependent on autodection capabilities in X.org. An ideas on ubuntu
doing this also.

Below is the /etc/xorg.conf generated by FC6 for my Thinkpad T41p:

# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option      "AllowMouseOpenFail" "yes"
EndSection
