Not the foggiest, but I do know that for fedora 9, you are no longer supposed 
to use an xorg.conf. It autoconfigures itself. I removed mine on both desk- and 
flaptop computers and all is well (yes, the synaptics daemon wants that shm 
line, but it works anyway). Other than that, I find this is one hassle out of 
my computer life.
