Few actually need xorg.conf.d files now days. The only things that make sense now days are keyboard configurations for non-US English keyboard layouts, and driver configurations for proprietary video drivers or multi-monitor setups where hardware does not match logical layout, and those only when the DE does not have tools to control the keyboard or video layout, or if you use graphical login tools (xdm, kdm, gdm, etc.). There are examples for two of the three at the bottom of the configuration page here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/x/xorg-config.html I would like to add one for nVidia cards as well, but don't have the hardware currently. For the most part, the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory should be empty save for the default 10-evdev.conf and 50-synaptics.conf files that ship with those drivers. Most things just work out of the box. Another thing that was common in the past was to set default resolution in the xorg.conf. The Xorg log file contains the available modelines, but likely all you will need is an xrandr statement in .xinitrc, and again, only if your choice of desktop does not include a tool to control it or you use graphical login. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
