can't seem to find xorg.conf

[Michael Fothergill <michael.fothergill@googlemail.com>]

Dear folks,

Isn't xorg.conf supposed to be in /etc/X11?

I recently reinstalled squeeze on my new AMD64 box and I noticed that
the login environment in gnome looks grungier than normal - I didn't
get the cute login box and impressive pictures of the earth taken from
space followed by shots of parts of the galaxy now and again.......

Gnome itself seems to be OK.

I thought maybe gdm or xorg hadn't completely installed or something
but synaptic thinks they are installed and reinstalling them didn't
seem to change much.

X is not sussing out my HW191D monitor resolution as it used to.

So I googled this and was reminded that I needed to edit the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file and put in the correct resolution which is
1440 x 900 and try again.

So I fired up a root terminal and did the following:



root@Vigor15:/home/mikef# cd /etc/X11
root@Vigor15:/etc/X11# ls -l
total 76

root@Vigor15:/etc/X11# ^C

I can't see xorg.conf in there........

This is a new installation.   Maybe I'm looking with my eyes shut.

Suggestions welcome.
