Smxi now updates xorg.conf with a few small things that make the new xorg 1.6 work better with old xorg.conf files.

This runs AFTER the upgrade runs, so make sure not to exit or the fix won't run, but it will run the next time you do it anyway.

FGLRX USERS:
Remember this please, if you run a dist-upgrade now, you will get the new xorg, and there is no fglrx support for xorg 1.6. There may be on version 9-4 but that is not known or certain.

On the bright side, the new Xorg brings with it the new radeon/radeonhd drivers which might work for you now while you wait, if you must upgrade.

sgfxi should be testing for xorg version and should exit with error if you are trying to install pre 9-4 drivers on xorg >= 1.6.
