- Some developers might find this topic interesting, could help them in developing a good tool for monitor/graphics adapter and xorg.conf setup!
- I call the community to post their working xorg.conf
- Please don't include or whine for unworking solutions, please keep it clean, maybe your configuration does not work, but others reading this might find it useful! :)
- And please don't ask for help here, use the link or quote it, but make your own topic in Help forums to seek help!

Instructions:
(A) Attach the file

/etc/X11/xorg.conf
(New Reply > Scroll down > click Manage attachments > Browse and upload, then close)

Zip the file in order to get it uploaded:

echo "You are in: $PWD"
zip xorg.conf.zip /etc/X11/xorg.conf

*OR*

For lazy persons, post it within the reply

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Post it after the questions, and use [QUOTE] tags to quote it :)

(B) Answer these simple questions:

What is your graphics card brand/model?
For the graphics card, use the command:
lspci -nn
..then find your graphics card and post the output of that line here (not all the lines, keep it clean!)
What is your monitor brand/model?
Did System > Administration > Hardware drivers (aka jockeygtk) setup everything for you regarding graphics card/monitor properly? [Yes/No]
Did you have a problem with your monitor or graphics card?
If you had a problem configuring it, did you use other packages/commands to configure it properly? [Yes/No]
List them here!
Any hacks (additional editing) required to be done on xorg.conf? [Yes/No]
(Explain if the notes below!)
Optional: Notes (if any)?

Strange, xorg won't open from the command line interface.

And I'm to lazy to use nautilus to track it down. (read hangover)

Maybe I'll post it later.
