    Does xorg.conf work differently in 8.10?

    I'm generally impressed with Intrepid so far, but I'm confused by my xorg.conf file: There's almost nothing in it!

    I'm used to a rather extensive number of entries in it, but when I opened the latest all I saw was this:

    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Configured Monitor"
    EndSection

    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    Monitor "Configured Monitor"
    Device "Configured Video Device"
    DefaultDepth 24
    EndSection

    Section "Module"
    Load "glx"
    EndSection

    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Configured Video Device"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Option "NoLogo" "True"
    EndSection
    That's the entire file! I was thinking of putting in my monitor's resolution numbers...but now I'm not so sure where they would go...

    Is all of the info I'm used to seeing in this file now being stored somewhere else? Where WOULD I put my HorizSync & VertRefresh numbers? Where is all the information kept when all of the above devices were "configured"?

    (at least 'till he figures out what he's doing!)

    xorg.conf has been removed from Intrepid. It currently exists only as a stub.

    Here's more information about configuring your hardware in Intrepid: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config
