[solved]xorgconf command no found

I just installed the base system and trying to set up a desktop.

I installed xorg but there is no xorg.conf, so I've to generate one by myself.

I want to use this command:

xorgconf

but error shows it not exist.

how can I install xorgconf?

TKS

P.S: I'm using Thinkpad T23

Re: [solved]xorgconf command no found

xorgconf was removed from the xorg packages because X doesn't strictly require an xorg.conf file anymore.

You may not need an xorg.conf file unless you've got some very specific requirements in mind. 

See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … cessary.29 and try just starting X without a config file.

If you decide you do need a xorg.conf, X -configure will generate one you can modify as required.

Full details on the wiki's xorg page.

Thanks @natron and @tomk

I've left Arch for 1 year, must refresh so many things.

-----------------
The result: I've found no xorgconf yet but no xorg.conf is all right. the new xorg doesn't need it.
