xorg.conf shouldn't be needed anymore, except in very special circumstances
A virtually blind OP doesn't count as a very special circumstance?
You keep hiding behind this excuse re the OP.
Please explain this concept of "hiding behind". I don't know your meaning.
Why didn't you say this when you posted your initial message or even tell him/her go mention this?
Were the typos and obviously errant spaces and other characters in the OP not sufficiently indicative of a special problem? How often must a regular poster here for several years (Bob Stia <911@pasco.org> in this case) for the benefit of the other regulars here need to reiterate his handicap as the reason for or a compounding effect of a problem he's asking for help with? You think a handicapped person is proud to be handicapped rather than wishing to forget its existence and be like normal people? Why not just answer the actual question? It's well known that there are special cases (e.g. proprietary drivers not supporting KMS; forcing disregard of EDID) where automagic can't work, only handled by having an xorg.conf file, which is why xorg.conf is still supported. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
