This is perfectly normal for configuration files in many applications, it's a relatively common system to have the file not exist by default and only need to be created manually or automatically if a default setting is required to be changed. This doesn't make xorg.conf any less 'current' or 'valid'. It's still entirely supported by the X.org project and the only recommended / supported / possible way to change certain configurations. The only change from 'olden days' is that X is expected and configured to work without it being present by default, as long as you don't want to change any default settings. I think people over-emphasize the scope of this change. It's only intended to be as I described above. xorg.conf is not at present nor is it intended to become entirely obsolete. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
