[SOLVED]Xorg /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Ok, so I'm trying to work through the Wiki and this http://www.archlinux.org/blog/2006/01/0 … rade-xorg/
but when I try to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, it just opens a blank file. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but I've been really confused and struggling with the documentation for this upgrade.

Re: [SOLVED]Xorg /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Don't really know what to suggest, except make sure you are root when trying to edit it.
How did you create your xorg.conf file, by running "xorg -configure", or did you run "xorgconfig"?

Re: [SOLVED]Xorg /etc/X11/xorg.conf
When I try xorg -configure it says "bash: xorg: command not found" so but xorgconfig seems to work.

AFAIK you should type this with big X: Xorg -configure
[root@Komp_607 ~]# hwd -x
Generating /etc/X11/xorg.conf.hwd
Your sample file is ready.hwd -x is supposedly better then xorgconfig

Re: [SOLVED]Xorg /etc/X11/xorg.conf
The capital is important:
Xorg -configurehwd also works well:
hwd -xI would suggest NOT using xorgconfig though. I don't like it.

Re: [SOLVED]Xorg /etc/X11/xorg.conf
oops, sorry for any confusion caused by me leaving the X as lowercase in my question above.
