What I am trying to say is, there is no xorg anything anywhere in my /etc/ directory. Searching the computer, I do find a folder /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d and it does have a 10-evdev.conf file, but it looks pretty generic as if it is a sample or something. It has been a couple of years since I have set anything up and I am a bit behind, trying to catch up. I am amazed at the number of changes that have occurred recently and am a bit overwhelmed, but I'm trying to get there. So, do I need to create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d folder and put this file in it? It seems to me there is much more afoot here than merely creating a folder and putting a file into it. Just looked at the machine I am on right now (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) and it, also, has no xorg file or folder of any kind under /etc/. Not sure where to go from here.
