Editing xorg.conf became unnecessary around 2003 iirc. You either have a strange set up or a very good memory.

- bayindirh 5y agoI'm using Linux for ~20 years at this point. I remember fine tuning X.org after than that to fine tune behavior of ATI and nVidia drivers back in the day, around 2007-2008 IIRC. While most of the work has vanished for single monitor setups around that time frame, multi-monitor setting wasn't very reliable and deterministic under xrandr came around and drivers added native support for that. *: randr came around 2003: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/log/randr/randr.c?ofs=50 https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/log/randr/randr.c?...
- oblio 5y agoI still had Ubuntu upgrades requiring me to edit the xorg.conf for a bog standard single CRT in about 2007 or so. And I definitely touched xorg.conf a bunch of times even a few years later.
