If you have slocate installed try:

Code:
slocate xorg.conf


Otherwise you can use find:

Code:
find / -name "xorg.conf"


Note: find will be much slower.

It doesn't exist until you create it. :D

This might help: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml

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.

Code:
Xorg -configure


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