in most cases, a useless waste of time. For nearly every system, Xorg automagic

What happens when you start X with no /etc/X11/xorg.conf at all? What is the
output from:
ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ?

Does this match errant behavior that triggered you starting this thread? Given
the
trouble you had with networking, something seems to have gone amiss with your
dist-upgrade in spite of your ounce of prevention. Was Jessie an upgrade from
Wheezy? From Squeeze to Wheezy to Jessie? Farther back?
Logitech pointing devices always just work for me.
