Right.. Looks like there's no display manager installed. Depending on your
favorite environment, could you install one of sddm, lxdm or gdm ?
On my side, I used sddm.
Question: Where is the file that contains the display setup (ie refresh
rate, resolution.)
This can be set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in some cases (e.g. for nvidia
hardware). Now, most of the required information is retrieved from hardware by
Xorg. xorg.conf can usually be removed (except with nvidia driver).
Where would randr get its information if Xorg was
running?

I would have responded sooner but have been hit with a severe case of

No problem.
