there is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11/

hi,

did i miss something? xorg.conf should be, as far as i know, in /etc/X11/ , or?

sax2 can’t find it and la does not display xorg.conf either:

i am currently using wmii3.5

I am assuming you are using openSUSE-11.2, because 11.3 does not have sax2.

openSUSE-11.2 does not require an /etc/X11/xorg.conf in many cases. May I suggest you read up on some openSUSE practical graphic card theory. It provides an explanation.
