Howto find my xorg.conf. Where is it?

I can’t find my xorg.conf.

There is no xorg.conf file by default in Ubuntu 11.04.

If I run: “whereis xorg.conf” I am seeing: xorg: /usr/lib/xorg /usr/lib64/xorg /usr/include/xorg

may be I just can create it by myself? at /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

Method 1

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config

To create an initial /etc/xorg.conf file, you can have Xorg’s autoconfiguration output a full blown static one for you:

sudo Xorg -configure

or create an /etc/xorg.conf containing only those sections and options that you need to override Xorg’s autoconfigurated settings.

Method 2

The modern implementations of Xorg doesn’t need a xorg.conf file, the configuration is automatic. And the correct place for the xorg.conf file is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
