observation
no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file,
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ the only files present are
05-glamor.conf 10-evdev.conf 11-mouse.conf 50-synaptics.conf
50-vmmouse.conf 50-wacom.conf 90-keytable.conf
is there a fglrx driver for 12.3?
if so where is it?
the only thing noticed as missing so far is sysinfo:// facility for Konqueror
suggestion
if an update is to be done, remove the fglrx driver before proceeding
its a very good update, thanks to all
