Problem description:
Have Vaio SZ dual graphics card PC (Intel & nvidia). Installed with nvidia gfx card running and xorg.conf was generated. Fine. I forgot about the Intel card when I installed the O/S.
I had a copy of the xorg.conf I used for the same PC in Ubuntu 8.10 & copied into /etc/X11 and rebooted with th INtel card and if was sick.
Deleted the xorg.conf file and all was well. However, with a working Intel environment I now have to copy the xorg.conf file so that I can use a script to flip between the gfx cards, but there is no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11. Perhaps, this latter release of Ubuntu does not need one. However, it uses one for the nvidia card.
Question:
How can I generate the xorg.conf? I thought that there was a problem called xorgconfig, but its not in my installation of Ubuntu 9.04, or not in the PATH.
Cheers, z.
PS. Please resist writing comments like: Why are you doing this? and Why not stick to one gfx card? and so on. There is reason that is beyond the scope of this post and irrelevant to the solution ;)
