If you??™re using XFree86, the
configuration file is named XF86Config. But where is the file located?
According to the X server manpage, it could be in any of 13 different locations:
??? /etc/X11/cmdline
??? /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/cmdline
??? /etc/X11/$XORGCONFIG
??? /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/$XORGCONFIG
??? /etc/X11/xorg.conf-4
??? /etc/X11/xorg.conf
??? /etc/xorg.conf
??? /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/xorg.conf.hostname
??? /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/xorg.conf-4
??? /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/xorg.conf
??? /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.hostname
??? /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf-4
??? /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf
Where cmdline is the filename specified in the -config option on the server command
line, $XORGCONFIG is the filename stored in the environment variable of the
same name, and hostname is the computer??™s network hostname (as displayed by the
hostname command). Unless you are the root user, the pathname given for cmdline or
$XORGCONFIG must be relative and cannot contain a reference to a parent directory (it
may not contain ???..???).
Translated into English, this means the following happens:
1. First priority is given to the filename specified on the command line, if present??”
but that filename must exist in the /etc/X11 or /usr/X11R6/etc/X11 subtrees.
