[conspire] No xorg.conf in Ubuntu 9.10, HAL instead

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Roger Chrisman (roger at rogerchrisman.com):

Has been brewing for a while.  These might be the Ubuntu docs you need:  
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input#hal

The GNOME people who ended up in charge of freedesktop.org always 
did have a severe XML fetish (as witness GConf).
