> I have NO xorg or XF86 config file in either /etc or /etc/X11, NONE AT ALL.
DESCRIPTION Xorg uses a configuration file called xorg.conf for its initial setup. This configuration file is searched for in the following places when the server is started as a normal user: /etc/X11/<cmdline> /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/<cmdline> /etc/X11/$XORGCONFIG /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/$XORGCONFIG /etc/X11/xorg.conf-4 /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/xorg.conf /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/xorg.conf.<hostname> /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/xorg.conf-4 /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/xorg.conf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.<hostname> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf-4 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf where <cmdline> is a relative path (with no ".." components) specified with the -config command line option, $XORGCON- FIG is the relative path (with no ".." components) specified by that environment variable, and <hostname> is the machine's hostname as reported by gethostname(3). When the Xorg server is started by the "root" user, the config file search locations are as follows: <cmdline> /etc/X11/<cmdline> /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/<cmdline> $XORGCONFIG /etc/X11/$XORGCONFIG /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/$XORGCONFIG $HOME/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-4 /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/xorg.conf /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/xorg.conf.<hostname> /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/xorg.conf-4 /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/xorg.conf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.<hostname> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf-4 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf where <cmdline> is the path specified with the -config command line option (which may be absolute or relative), $XORGCONFIG is the path specified by that environment variable (absolute or relative), $HOME is the path specified by that environment variable (usually the home directory), and <hostname> is the machine's hostname as reported by geth- ostname(3). -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
