no 'xorg.conf' file

[dbyjazz]

I need to fix my screen resolution manually using the xorg.conf file and I can't find it. When I type in 'gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf' it just come up with an empty text editor. [pic]

What I've tried:

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Does reinstalling xserver-xorg-core package help.

[dbyjazz (djbytheway)]

can you please tell me how to reinstall that? I'm sorry I'm just getting use to linux :)

[dbyjazz (djbytheway)]

never mind I didn't know you could do it in Synaptic. And no it didn't do anything that I can notice in terms of the xorg.conf file

Open a terminal and type 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install xserver-xorg-core'

I did now what am I supposed to look for that's different? Because nothing has changed in the file

X no longer requires an xorg.conf and so Ubuntu no longer ships one.
In case you need assistance hand crafting one I'll forward this to the answer tracker.
