I wanted to set up keyboard layout for X,and I need to edit xorg.conf file to do that.But I can't find it under /etc/X11.How can I find out where that file exists?

If you have slocate installed try:
Otherwise you can use find:
| Code: | | find / -name "xorg.conf" |
Note: find will be much slower. |

umm... if it's not in /etc/X11/ or /usr/lib/X11/, you probably set something up wrong.
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
Follow that guide to correctly set up X.
right now, it is probably using defaults.

And you will get an xorg.conf in your /root directory that you could simply change then. |
