Xorg.config missing, as well as /init.d/

[Jekktis]

So I just installed Debian 64-bit, and I've noticed that Xorg is missing. I tried everything on the Xorg wiki page but those didn't work. "/etc/init.d/XXX stop" commands don't work because there is no init.d.

I also tried cd /etc/X11/ then Xorg -configure in recovery mode, but that didn't work.

Any idea's?

Welcome.

I just installed Debian 64-bit

Did you install the stable version, Squeeze, or another version?

I've noticed that Xorg is missing

You're right. The file /etc/X11/xorg.conf is no longer auto-generated in Debian.

Is there a reason xorg.conf is needed? If running the open source video driver on a single screen, xorg.conf isn't usually needed. For the proprietary drivers, multiple screens and problematic hardware you'll need it.

"/etc/init.d/XXX stop" commands don't work because there is no init.d

Are you issuing the command as root, or using sudo? Which service (XXX) do you want to stop?

Just noticed your other thread, "Need some help with Compiz/xorg/drivers..." Might be better to stay with one thread as the questions, including Compiz, have the same kinda answers.

The people here, as on most Linux forums, are all volunteers. No one is paid to help. It may take several hours, or a day, for someone who's familiar with your problem to reply. Showing impatience when someone doesn't respond according to your timetable isn't likely to get you the help you want. So is not answering the questions someone asks you when they're helping you resolve your problem.

Your choice on where to take it from here.
