Ubuntu 10.04 up : xorg.conf - missing? generate one!

1. Re: /etc/X11/xorg.conf - missing?

   yes; xorg.conf in 10.04 is no longer the standard... you can generate one.. it will use it when it's there.
   
   
   here's how to do that;
   
   
   

   Code:

   Switch to a tty ( press ctrl+alt+f1 (f2,f3 etc)

   login with your username and password.
   
   stop gdm with
   

   Code:

   sudo service gdm stop

   then generate a xorg.conf with
   

   Code:

   sudo Xorg -configure

   this will create a xorg.conf.new in your home directory)
   move the auto-generated xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
   
   
   

   Code:

   sudo mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

   Make changes you want to try
   

   Code:

   sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

   and start gdm again with
   
   

   Code:

   sudo service gdm start

   When your thread it solved: go to thread tools > Mark this thread as solved
   for SIS 771/671 use xcompmgr to have transparent terminals. just load it at startup.
   
   And then they asked: what's a pbkac error?
