Where is my xorg.conf or XF86Config?

I am not really new to linux but this is my first time with both archlinux and fluxbox. I am trying to screw around with my touchpad to get it working and I can't find my xorg.conf file. I've looked all through the documentation trying to find something telling why they might not be there but I've come up with nothing.
The closest I can find is in my /root folder and it is xorg.conf.new
That file looks right so I tried copying it into /etc/X11 and my laptop wouldn't boot into X and I had to knoppix into my filesystem and delete it before I could get back here. Any help would be appreciated.

Dusty wrote:You don't have to boot into knoppix to delete it, just press ctrl-alt-F1 to get a root console, the cd /etc/X11 then rm xorg.conf to remove it. Or mv xorg.conf xorg.bak to change the name.
Yeah I should have been more clear, it would just keep resetting when it tried to go to the login screen no matter which console I was on.
Dusty wrote:Look in /var/log/ for a file that has some error messages. For some reason, I can't remember the name of the file, somethnig like XOrg.0.log or XFree86.0.log or something. That will help you diagnose the configuration error.
This is my Xorg.0.log file:

I have a presario 2190US (Presario 2100) I would like to get the configuration stuff all set up unfortuantely it's difficult since Presario makes it impossible to figure out your system specs. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

Xorg.conf file after install? Where?

I know this is probably the worst question to ask but I couldn't find anything in the search for it. I just installed Arch (using a .7 CD) with an FTP install and naturally it chose the xorg7 version. His XServer starts alright but I noticed we both can't seem to find the xorg.conf file... usually it's in the /etc/X11/ folder (I think that's where it is on mine at home.)
The mouse, screen and almost everything works but for the life of me I can't find this configuration file. Does it use defaults if one doesn't exist or perhaps it's somewhere I'm not looking? Any advice would be appreciated as it isn't using the nvidia glx drivers but the basic nv.
Thanks in advance.
(Forgot to mention I'm used to using the X.org 6 version on my home PC and just trying to figure this out before I upgrade to 7.)

You'll want to be carefull about that with xorg7. The path locations will change then. It may be better to generate a new one and copy in the difference in options.

Xorg.conf Where are you?

Hi,
I installed Arch (third time) and Iam not able to find xorg,conf. I installed Arch from full cd. In /etc/X11/ are these directories only: fs rstart sessions twm xdm xinit xsm
Does anybody know where I can find the X config (using XORG7)

Here is: (located in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - created by hwd -x)

[SOLVED]where I can specify where are my font if not using xorg.conf

where I can specify where are my font if not using xorg.conf
thanks

You can try to this in ~/.xinitrc :
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/local
or any other path.

Where xorg.conf go???

Ive just installed arch in my new system, im flying through terminals, firefox tabs, etc...
But i have one question>
Where did xorg.conf go???
I cant find it, i even did a updatedb and locate xorg.conf and didnt find anything.
For what i can see in console (ALT+CTRL+F1) its loading something called "getconfig.pl", so i guess is a perl script in charge of autodetecting settings (as it launched my X with the correct drivers --nv-- and the correct resolution/refresh) although i like the autodetect funtionality, i would like to make my wheel mouse work (only thing the detect missed).

Actually, i always did it manually, but if i have the chance on saving some minutes, using an app that does the work right (except for a few details, as the mouse wheel) i will give it a try. I like the idea of not having to enter every resolution mode i want...
The thing was, i didnt find the "default" file, and forgot about xorgconf actually, until now
Thanks all for the replies!.

Xorg-conf where is it?

Hello again!!
i need to set DPI for my monitor but in this direcotory: /etc/X11/xorg.confg.d/ i don't have any xorg.conf file....
i try to generate it with this commnad:
Xorg :1 -configure
but i get this error:
Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.
Configuration failed.
Thank you for BIG help!!!

yes, Xorg stores it's default files here : /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d .
The only files present in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d are those you create yourself.
example :
I have a joystick that gives weird effects (mouse cursor constantly moving, scrolling text etc ) when used with the stock /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-joystick.conf ,
To solve this I need to disable some settings , so i created my own /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-joystick.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "joystick catchall"
MatchIsJoystick "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "joystick"
Option "StartKeysEnabled" "False"
Option "StartMouseEnabled" "False"
EndSection

Where will I find xorg.conf

I swear I have been all over the directories.
'whereis' says /usr/lib/xorg & usr/include/xorg. Not there.
Saw a reference in the forum to etc/X11/xorg. Not there.
Running the Arch 2008.1 with KDE4.
Seems that the only way to manage screen resolution is with the config file.
Thanks,
Bill

If I could just post a tip for new users who maybe reading this thread. Using "locate" from the terminal will provide a very fast search for any file.
You just need to first update the databse which lists all your directories and files:
As root:
su
+ your root password
updatedb
locate name-of-file
As a sudo user
sudo updatedb
sudo locate name-of-file
ie xorg.conf:
[richs-lxh@arch ~]$ su
Password:
[root@arch richs-lxh]# locate xorg.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
/usr/share/hwd/xorg.conf.ati.tpl
/usr/share/hwd/xorg.conf.tpl
/usr/share/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.gz

ATI DRI & Xorg.conf

I am trying to get 3d working with the ATI drivers. I have installed the kernel and have installed the drivers, ran
fglrxconfig
. I have also added the fglrx module to rc.conf and then when i boot i get the following error message:

Thanks in advance!

no, my graphics card has Hypermemory (where it has dedicated memory, but allows you to add system memory for use as well). So i was on a forum ( www.notebookanalysis.com ) that deals only with my model of notebook, and saw someone with the same blank screen as mine, so they go it to work by using only shared video memory. So i changed that and it worked.
When i type glxinfo i get this:

which tells me that DRI is enabled.....however after running glxinfo, it gives me the information above, but does not bring me back to a command line, almost as if it is frozen. There are several other applications that freeze constantly while using them.

i see fglrx is loaded along with agpgart and amd64_agp..... does this mean that my modules are looking for external agpgart?
I am using the archck kernel because i thought that was the only way i could use the ati-drivers package from community.....
I have also tried re-running the fglrxconfig, but it hasnt solved anything.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!

[SOLVED] Prev working xorg.conf won't work with new nvidia

So I just upgraded to the latest nvidia driver. Previously, my xfx 6600 and dell 2001fp could display 1600x1200 just fine, but now it's ratcheting X down to 1400x1050 (even though 1600x1200 is the only option I've specified in the xorg.conf).
Any ideas?

[SOLVED]xpra + winswitch - best practice due to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*

Running xpra causes some headaches.
The application builds fine and installs just perfectly, the troubles comes from the default Xorg configuration is no longer stored in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it's now stored and read from numerous files under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ where just so happen to be my 5-nvidia.conf.

tl;dr: 5-nvidia.conf is trying to get loaded after xf86-video-dummy is loaded (which is the default for xpra).
Now to the question: What's the best practice because there's no information about this issue, and i can't be the only one who's run in to this since the xorg.conf was removed. At the moment I move all my nvidia configs out of the way, start xpra and move them back in. This works for the better part as long as i execute xpra with my own scripts.
But is there a better way (which doesn't perhaps include recreating xorg.conf since that appears to be something you should walk away from)?

Good thinking! (xpra is basically just screen but for x, or a X11 tunnel via SSH).
After a really quick poking around and remembering that xpra really just uses xorg-server-xvfb and at the very bottom of /etc/xpra/xpra.conf there's a line that says:
xvfb=xpra_Xdummy -dpi 96 -noreset -nolisten tcp +extension GLX +extension RANDR +extension RENDER -logfile ${HOME}/.xpra/Xorg.${DISPLAY}.log -config /etc/xpra/xorg.conf
Appending -configdir appears to be working.
Here are the full steps:
[torxed@archie ~]$ sudo cp -r /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d /etc/xpra/
[torxed@archie ~]$ sudo rm /etc/xpra/xorg.conf.d/*nvidia*
[torxed@archie ~]$ sudo sed -i '$s/$/ -configdir \/etc\/xpra\/xpra.conf.d/' /etc/xpra/xpra.conf
*nvidia* would have to match your graphic-driver-config that would cause xorg-server-xvbf to crash.
I'll update the wiki and put a mention on the package about it because this either has to be standard or well known from the start because it really just breaks the package all together.

Xorg.conf , nvidia 96xx and dual head failure

i cant get Xorg to work with nvidia driver at all.
here is where i am.
setup aurch linux [X]

Ive tried everything i could think of or what arch wiki could. I came to aurch linux to learn more about linux (fedora holds your hand to much.) but i dont think i can figure this one out on my own.

serverman,
let me see if I understand your situation.
You are using the nvidia drivers and want to setup a dual screen with independent screens (?).
Without a xorg.conf one screen should work out of the box with one screen.
For the proprietary drivers you will need a minimal xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection
This still has only one screen, but can you try it and tell what happens ?

Xorg.conf problems

hi
I have a working X-desktop with awesomeWM.
problem is, my X only works without a xorg.conf, not with the Xorg -configure one or a minimalistic one.
I have an intel 4500mhd graphic device, installed xf86-video-intel and evdev input devices.
KMS, hal and dbus are all loaded and running.
I need a working .conf file to set new font paths and I want to enable my hdmi output with xrandr.
this is my xorg log file when I start X without a .conf:
This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation.
It is not supported in any way.
Bugs may be filed in the bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/.
Select the "xorg" product for bugs you find in this release.
Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions please check the
latest version in the X.Org Foundation git repository.

edit: I just tested the VGA out with no .conf and it works, even with the correct display ratio (4:3 rather than 16:9 on my book). Tomorrow I will perhaps test the hdmi port on a friends new TV. If all works, I honestly don't care about messing around with xorg.conf ..
The font path problem is only relevant to urxvt so I will stick with xterm where extra fonts work without problem.

Xorg.conf somethings I don't understand yet

Background:
I'm pretty much a total noob when it comes to linux. I've been a dos/windows user/tech for more then 15 years and I've finally decided I wanted to learn linux.
So I setup a teamspeak server(Linux Talk) on my windows machine and have been using a kvm to learn linux on another. Pudge has been a great help coming on the teamspeak server and chatting with me and others.
Today:
So today I decided to try reinstalling Arch without any help. And So far I've done fairly well I managed to get it updated and get into gnome. However I've run into some things in the xorg.conf that while I was able to get around, i really didn't understand them. I tried search the forum and wiki, but it didn't help.
What I did:
I used xorg -configure and it generated the xorg.conf.new file and properly detected my monitor, I copied and renamed it as it should be, but it didn't work. I would recieve out of range. So I commented out the refresh lines (like it said to do) so that it would use ddc, that didn't work either agian I recieved the out of range message on my monitor again. So I put in manual refresh rates that I knew would work and they did.
The part where I got confused:
What I don't understand is when it properly detected and identified the monitor, how come that didn't work ? And how come using the ddc method didn't work.
I know i'm not filling in all the blanks with specific numbers and hardware details, I'm not looking for a how to for my specific setup, just trying to understand the basic process and why it didn't work even though it detected everything properly.

Anymore you might be able to get away with not specifying sync ranges for your monitor... it seems I broke my site, so I will post a link to my xorg.conf url soon.

Xorg.conf.d not loading when thinkpad docked

When installing arch on my workstation, a lenovo thinkpad t530, it all worked basically fine, just some issues with setting boot partitions and such. The problem I have that I haven't been able to solve is that if I start X while the laptop is docked, to a series 3 dock with an extra monitor and some peripherals connected, none of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d files seems to be loaded. This mostly shows by both the screens showing a cloned desktop with 1024x768 (or similar low resolution) and my keyboard configuration isn't loaded. All this works perfectly fine when starting X when the laptop isn't docked and I can't find anything strange about it in the log.
I currently, partly, solve this by calling xrandr and setxkbmap with the correct arguments in ~/.xinit but I really don't like that solution.
So my question is: Is there any known issues that could cause this or where should I start looking for the cause?
I'm not using any desktop environment, display manager or similar, just starting dwm from ~/.xinit when running xinit
For stackexchange reputation it's possible to answer the question at unix.stackexchange too:

jbritton wrote:Ok, so I reinstalled everything, and followed the new instruction in the Beginners Guide to install # pacman -S xorg-twm xorg-xclock xterm
Did you start at that part of the guide, or all the way back to the part that says:
Wiki wrote:
Install the base packages:
# pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-utils xorg-server-utils
The instructions for xorg-twm xorg-xclock and xterm were to give a really basic gui for testing X, but wouldn't pull in xorg-server which is what should give you xorg.conf.d and also pulls in the evdev driver as a dependency.
I noticed that hal was installed as apart of this. Anyone have another suggestion? I checked in /etc/X11 and the xorg.conf.d folder is still missing.
That part seems odd, could you be using an out of date mirror? The current version of the xorg-server package is 1.9.4.901-1

Xorg.conf question

I am kind of embarassed to ask this question, but I have to. Where do I find xorg.conf? Do I even have such a file? It is not in /etc/X11.
When I installed Xorg, I also installed hal and then added it to module list in rc.conf. Does hal just detect my xorg settings everytime I run X, thus eliminating the need for xorg.conf?

The only solution was to boot from a live distro and edit the xorg.conf from there. I think the problem was the missing hal daemon - im not sure.
There's a much easier way - boot into single user mode (either add "single" or "init=3" to the kernel line in grub) and edit your xorg.conf using nano or any other text editor.
Now, hal is *required* as long as you don't have Option "AutoAddDevices" "False" in your xorg.conf. If you try to start X without having hal running, you will not be able to use your mouse/keyboard (again, if this happens, boot into single user mode and edit your xorg.conf). If you disable hotplugging (AutoAddDevices false), hal is optional (correct me if i'm wrong), but many features of KDE/Gnome depend on hal and won't work without it.
Personally, I'd recommend going with hotplugging and hal. First, try starting X without an xorg.conf. If everything looks good, you're done (on my notebooks I don't have xorg.conf). You might need xorg.conf to set stuff like your screen resolution - generate it (if you have an nvidia gfx card, use nvidia-xconfig), but make sure there are no lines concerning your mouse/keyboard in xorg.conf.
And, like paulez posted, you will need xf86-input-evdev.

Where is my xorg.conf or XF86Config?
