auto created xorg.conf

I have noticed that when xorg automatically creates xorg.conf settings It works better than when I use my own xorg.conf.. I also get a lot fewer Warnings in xorg.log.

The question is, where is the autoconfigured xorg.conf?? I would really like to take a look at it, and apply it to my xorg.conf...

Re: auto created xorg.conf

I have noticed that when xorg automatically creates xorg.conf settings It works better than when I use my own xorg.conf.. I also get a lot fewer Warnings in xorg.log.

The question is, where is the autoconfigured xorg.conf?? I would really like to take a look at it, and apply it to my xorg.conf...

You mean, when the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file doesn't exist ?

Maybe the one generated by Xorg -configure is the same.

-configure
               When this option is specified, the Xorg server loads all  video
               driver  modules,  probes for available hardware, and writes out
               an initial xorg.conf(5) file based on what was detected.   This
               option  currently  has  some problems on some platforms, but in
               most cases it is a good  way  to  bootstrap  the  configuration
               process.   This option is only available when the server is run
               as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).

Re: auto created xorg.conf

I mean when I remove my xorg.conf  from /etc/X11/ xorg automatically probes and logs into X, this autoprobed configs is working better than my xorg.conf. I want to see these settings created automatically by xorg, but cant find them.

Re: auto created xorg.conf

I think you have Xorg-server 1.3 which what I heard doesn't need a xorg.conf. I use 1.3 with xorg.conf which I had on 1.2 and glxgears show lower results as under 1.2 server. If I started X without xorg.conf than monitor resolution is not correct and mouse doesn't work correct too.
