That is why every system service has a location where a user can make changes to configurations which will not be overwritten by updates. In this case your changes should be made to a file that you create in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. It would also be helpful when making user defined changes that you try to gain an understanding of the sequence in which configuration files are processed. Configuration files can be located in multiple places and are normally parsed sequentially with the last instance of a given option being used.

Ok, I understand that. I made the changes to 10-evdev.conf as was suggestedmore than a year ago, assumed that just had to be.
So in the present case /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d should survive updates, but how would I determine the sequence in which the files are parsed? It looks to me like "conf.d" might be something to look for? /N/ext time I will ask ...
