Hi,
I am pretty new to Linux. I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 but I can' find xorg.conf in /etc/X11. Am I missing something?
Thanks

There is no xorg.conf by default in 9.10, giving space to autodetection.
Some drivers may generate a xorg.conf later on, though.
What would you like to do with it? Are you having any problems?
Wish I could prove I love you, but does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand it's enough when I say so, and maybe some things are that simple.
I am using Intel 4500 graphics card which has many known problems. I want to take a look at the xorg.conf to see the configuration and other options.
There is no xorg.conf in Ubuntu 9.10, see here for reasons why: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1325212
However, you can generate one if you need to, by dropping to the shell
Drop to the terminal by doing ctrl+alt+F1
Login.
Type
sudo service gdm stop
Then type:
sudo Xorg -configure
then to restart X
sudo service gdm start
This will generate an xorg.conf.

Hi, Sealbhach
Thank you. it works.
Fantastic post!
However, how does one assert that it should use the file. Does its presence in /etc/X11 ensure this?
The file is there and the issue remains.
Thank you Sealbhach!!! I followed your commands, and it worked.
It now says...
Now I can get around my broken touchpad and finally left click again!(++) Using config file: "/home/__myusername__/xorg.conf.new"
(==) Using config directory: "/usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d"

If a post is older than a year or so and hasn't had a new reply in that time, instead of replying to it, create a new thread. In the software world, a lot can change in a very short time, and doing things this way makes it more likely that you will find the best information. You may link to the original discussion in the new thread if you think it may be helpful.

Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.
