With the new modular xorg.conf.d setup, you really don't. I have no xorg.conf and the only thing I'm missing is the mouse wheel emulation on my touchpad. The xorg-server package includes configuration segments that handle the basic input devices for you, and the server itself is pretty good as figuring out your output devices. --Mike
