Fedora releases since do not create a file, used to configure the X
server, by default. The X configuration is automatically determined each
time X is started. In most cases, this works well and there is no need
to manually specify X configuration information.
If you need to make manual changes to X configuration for any reason,
you will first need to create a file.
[[xorg--configure]]
Xorg -configure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can create a basic using the X executable itself. As root run:
....
Xorg :1 -configure
....
This will create the file , which you can then copy to :
....
cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
....
and edit according to your needs.

Traditionally, the xorg.conf file is used to configure the X server. In Fedora,
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:
[bash,subs="attributes+"]
----
Xorg :1 -configure
----
Next, copy the file to the correct location:
[bash,subs="attributes+"]
----
cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
----
Now you may edit the file according to your needs.
