It definitely used to be a huge pain in the arse. There used to be pages after pages after pages of random "HOW TO ..." style guides for people to configure X11 config files around the net (many just working for specific hw).
It was an incredible mess, with pretty much nothing positive about it. ;)
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoI've been using Linux for 20 years now and I've never needed more than 5 lines of Xorg config, only a couple lines of which has had meaningful information.
- vetinari 3y agoI've been using Linux since Slackware 3.0; at the time, there were X servers that were specific to a certain card manufacturers/chipsets and you symlinked the correct one. Then you configured xf86config.
