Initial Xorg configuration
- You can use X -configure, xorgconfig, or xorgcfg. I recommand to use X -configure which creates an useful skeleton file that you can then edit to suit you needs.
Xrandr
- With recent version of Xorg, manual configuration of the xorg.conf file is almost no longer needed. Xrandr kicks in, retrieves information from the monitor and configures Xorg accordingly.
- The HorizSync, VertRefresh, Modes and Modeline options have been deprecated (although Modeline can still be used with the Option "Preferred Mode"); the only thing that is currently needed now is the Virtual option.
- The xrandr command line is quite useful.
