So the obvious question is then, how does provide the ability to "override....defaults"?
Vi? Emacs? Nano? Mcedit? KWrite? Use whichever you like to create or modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Not the question....
Then the question was not clear.
Is it running sax2 as I stated to David and amending it to suit what you want?
Sax2 was not yet removed before 11.2 was released.
You obviously do not run 11.2.
Your obvious detector is obviously broken.
There is no xorg.conf in 11.2
Yes, there is no xorg.conf in 11.2 after a CLEAN install of 11.2. [An abbreviated version of the old] xorg.conf is created when you create it yourself by running sax2 or allowing the nvidia compiled driver to use sax2 to alter the settings for the driver.
I just booted one of my 7 11.2 systems, renamed xorg.conf so that X would find no xorg.conf, ran startx, and found X running at 800x600, instead of the 2048x1536 that it normally uses when a proper xorg.conf does exist.
IOW, in 11.2, xorg.conf is optional, but in certain cases, desirable, if not necessary.
xorg.conf when deliberately or specially generated will OVERRIDE whatever settings are auto generated by (?)HAL at boot-time of oS 11.2. The xorg.conf you now have has obviously been created by <something> to give you the screen size of 2048x1536 and which overrides this setting which is auto generated at boot-time.
