Re: [osol-discuss] Dual monitors --- where is xorg.conf?
Thanks for your replies. I've searched for .xorg.conf and xorg.conf but they don't exist. When I ran X -configure it errors because the display is already started. I prefer X configure the hardware sections instead of manually doing it, so how do I drop to a command line when the system is running? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Like all systems using modern Xorg, the server runs without xorg.conf by default, and you create one when needed to override the default settings. You should just be able to create one with the sections you need, and it will continue to use the default values for everything else. If you want a template to work from, then you have two choices: - Copy the reported configuration default out of /var/log/Xorg.0.log (but only when you don't already have a xorg.conf) - Kill the running session with 'svcadm disable gdm' and login on the command line to run Xorg -configure -- -Alan Coopersmith-alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Strange, but I checked my build 124 system, and, yes, no xorg.conf, nor .xorg.conf.

Re: [osol-discuss] Dual monitors --- where is xorg.conf?
When I disabled gdm is blanked my screen and that was it :) After I rebooted I removed /tmp/X0-lock and ran Xorg -configure which created my file.

[osol-discuss] Dual monitors --- where is xorg.conf?
Using a laptop and have an external 23 monitor connected. The laptop has a resolution of 1366x768 and the external has a resolution of 1920x1080. It sees both, but when I try to set the external I get a message screen cannot be larger than 1920x1920 (desired size 3286x1080). Using xrandr in BSD I can set Virtual in xorg.conf which fixes the problem.
