grub2 is configured with /etc/default/grub and files in /etc/grub.d/

to generate the ACTIVE config you need to tpye
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

dunno what developers thinking implement a make-config
command which spits only to screen as default.....

 Option      "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
EndSection
[root@srv-rhsoft:/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d]$ cat 02-vnc.conf
Section "Module"
 Load        "vnc"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
 Identifier  "Screen0"
 Option      "passwordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd"
EndSection
[root@srv-rhsoft:/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d]$ cat 03-intel.conf
