X -configure

Hi I would like to change the depth of my screen to 32 bit, But I have no X11/xorg.conf file to edit. Apparently this is not needed in ubuntu, then I have tried to get one by typing
sudo X -configure
but I get this error message:
_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.

ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log

I then look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and get again
_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already run

Does anyone have an idea of what could I do?

Try to do what it tells you to. Stop the running x server:

sudo service gdm stop

Then login in the virtual terminal and run the command:

sudo X -configure

THanks!!
It worked, I could generate the new xorg.conf file, put it in the correct directory /etc/X11
and edit it.
