Yes, I noticed that the xorg.conf file does not exist anymore. Question, using nvidia-settings and saving the changes, can be done how, if I do not specify the xorg.conf file?
By default there is no xorg.conf file. You can create one - and nvidia-config does create a basic one), and add only the lines or extras you need to add extra functionality - eg adding modelines if they are required for some special case. Some people have had to add special tweaks and settings for unusual video cards, or custom settings for a special case monitor configuration... or the rare time when a monitor/video card is not autodetected correctly - it happens, but only in a very few cases (in my observations and experiences)
I use a lot of graphics and also do video editing. If I want to position things finely I need to switch resolution often. I can use the editor to show me a finer picture, but using the ctrl+alt+-/+ works way faster. I don't need it for other work. I will look into the "xrandr" you mentioned to see what it is and if it might be a solution.
This is probably one of those "corner cases" that has a specific need outside the usual stream of users. I haven't played much with xrandr outside of the defaults. Some people here on the list have talked about desktop icons they've created for restoring default resolutions. I haven't tried it, but... I'm guessing you should be able to use something like xrandr -s 1024x768 (for example) tied to a keyboard shortcut... I have no idea if this is a practical or reasonable solution for quick resolution changes... just an idea that popped into my head as a possibility... any one else reading can confirm... or have a better solution for quick resolution changes in these post xorg.conf days?
