Xorg conf

  Date: Feb 05    Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu    Views: 252
  

I backed up my files for my screen but I cant figure out how to use my xorg.conf
file. One article says if the file is in etc/x11/ it will be used but, thats not
true. One says you have to run -configure but what Im reading on other sites is
that isnt the way to go.

xorg.conf does not exist in newer versions of grub anymore. However, if you want
you can create one using the following command:
"sudo Xorg -configure"

To run this go to virtual terminal "Ctrl+Alt+F1", and stop the gdm - "sudo
services gdm stop" (I think)
xorg.conf will be created in your home directory. Then you can copy it to
/etc/x11/
If xorg.conf is found in that directory kernel will use that. If it isn't found,
then kernel will use the default one. In case anyone mess up his xorg.conf file,
he just has to rename/move it to another directory and everything will return
back to normal.
Hope this helps.
