don't know whether my system uses XFree86 or Xorg). What should I do next? Thanks default xorg.conf should be in /etc/X11/ -- If Microsoft is the solution, I want my problem back. -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-amd64] nvidia question (new user)
Still no file. I must be doing something wrong. My system is configured for graphical login. So when the login prompt comes up, I choose a terminal session login. That closes the graphical login and leaves me at a command prompt login. I login as root and execute: /usr/bin/X11/Xorg -configure. The screen goes blank for a second, and then comes back, no indication of an error. A few seconds later the graphical login is back. I log in, but no xorg.conf to edit. Am I going about this wrong?
