I swear I have been all over the directories.
'whereis' says /usr/lib/xorg & usr/include/xorg. Not there.
Saw a reference in the forum to etc/X11/xorg. Not there.
Running the Arch 2008.1 with KDE4.
Seems that the only way to manage screen resolution is with the config file.
Thanks,

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg to create it. Then it will be in /etc/X11.

it can be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/XF86Config

Well, you may not have xorg.conf at all since new versions of X doesn't need this file to run. But it still may be used to tune some parameters.
When you run X without config it will autodetect things like driver, resolution.

You can generate an initial configuration file with xorgcfg.

If I could just post a tip for new users who maybe reading this thread. Using "locate" from the terminal will provide a very fast search for any file.
You just need to first update the databse which lists all your directories and files:
As root:
su
+ your root password
updatedb
locate name-of-file
As a sudo user
sudo updatedb
sudo locate name-of-file
ie xorg.conf:
[richs-lxh@arch ~]$ su
Password:
[root@arch richs-lxh]# locate xorg.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
/usr/share/hwd/xorg.conf.ati.tpl
/usr/share/hwd/xorg.conf.tpl
/usr/share/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.gz
[root@arch richs-lxh]#

you could install hwd pacman -S hwd then as root hwd -xa answer the questions it might say enabling vesa driver so you may need to edit your xorg.conf afterwards but hwd will write a xorg.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
