Traditionally, the xorg.conf file is used to configure an Xorg display server. In Fedora (where an Xorg display server is configured instead of the default Wayland) the X configuration is determined automatically each time X is started. As a result, no xorg.conf file is created. In most cases, this works well and there is no need to manually specify X configuration.
If you need to make manual changes to your X configuration for any reason, you will first need to create an `xorg.conf` file.

== Creating an xorg.conf file
You can create a basic file using the `X` executable. It will contain sections and entries that you can edit to suit your needs. To create the file, enter this command as *root*:
----
# Xorg :1 -configure
----
Next, copy the file to the correct location:
----
# cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
----
Now you may edit the file according to your needs.
See the `xorg.conf(5)` man page for more information.
