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.
