Can not find my xorg.conf file

I am trying to make my font bigger and I think I have found a soulution that has been sucesfull for other people. I think that the problem is that my resolution is not set up right.

The problem is that I can not find my "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file.

I thought at first that I just had not configured X, but when I tryed to do that I got this output

(EE) 
Fatal server error:
(EE) Server is already active for display 0
        If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
        and start again.
(EE) 
(EE) 
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support 
         at http://wiki.x.org
 for help. 
(EE) 

Im wondering if I acsedently moved the xorg.conf file somewhere.

Any help would be apreciated.

You'll probably want to use xrandr to set your dpi (usually associated with font sizing issues) and your resolution correctly.
