Several versions ago Ubuntu stopped using xorg.conf to set up your X environment. By default it doesn't exist any more. I've recently discovered however that if such a file exists, X will still use it. I've had to create one before to deal with particularly odd video configurations (for example, enabling 3D acceleration in a virtual machine).

Sorry, techieMoe, but said like that, it seems it was an ubuntu decision. I believe it was a Xorg option, on the road to do everything automatic. Right?

Thanks

You may be right. I only noticed it in Ubuntu, but it could very well have been a decision made by X.org and beyond their control. Either way, the point I was trying to make was that although it's not created by default any more, X.org will still recognize and use one if the file is present.

Sure, it was just a note.
You are, and were, totally rigth about xorg.conf

satimis just have to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf and put there what he wants according to man xorg.conf and, if he uses a proprietary driver, with its indications.

the OP can also check for any problems watching /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Hi folks,


Thanks for your advice. Actually I don't need xorg.conf.


I have 2 PCs connected on LAN, PC-1 running XRDP and PC-2 rdesktop. The X exported from PC-1 to PC-2 takes up the entire screen of the later. I tried to resize it without success. Finally I achieve by lowering the screen resolution on PC-1 with GUI. It works. But my friend working on PC-1 complains because the font size increased uncomfortably reading it.

That is the present situation. Any suggestion? TIA

satimis: Please, if you don't mind, close this topic as solved, and open a new one, with a new subject, with your question.

Thanks
