Clear message

Today's X rarely requires manual configuration. X now automatically configures itself with reasonable defaults. Both GNOME and KDE provide GUI utilities for customizing settings beyond these defaults if you like.

However, sometimes you need to muck with the configuration manually, beyond what these tools allow. These pages are written for you.

You can start with a /etc/xorg.conf file generated by Xorg's autoconfiguration itself: 

Xorg -configure
