    In mandriva I was able to edit the x11conf file, to remove the annoying touchpad scroll (which gets in the way a lot on such a small touchpad). But in Fedora, I couldn't find that file in /etc/X11, and I heard somewhere that it is autogenerated now. So how exactly can I modify stuff there?
    Thanks!

    In Fedora 10, you need to install system-config-display, execute it and close (not cancel) and it will create a bare-bones xorg.conf in /etc/X11 directory. Customize from there.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I did that, generated the file, and copied and pasted some lines from some forum to change the x/y scroll options, but it seems that there is no change at all. In fact, I even wonder if that file is loaded..
    Did anyone try to disable the touchpad scroll? In Mandriva it was pretty easy.
