shaumux,

No. xorg.conf should not have changed. There may be some updates to it in etc-update.

If you use a binary blob driver (ATI or nvidia) you may need to rebuild them against the new X server.

shaumux,

No, the drive name should not change. I've never heard of an driver called intel, thats not to say it doesn't exit.
i810 is famous though.

k i found out why is it like that
just looked into the logs and found the module directory
which was /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/
wherfe i found that i810 was a symlink to intel so they r the same.
maybe they changed things in the new version.
