Pardon my abysmal ignorance, but what is supposed to replace xorg.conf and all the wonderful X stuff behind it? Is there a RTFM on this?

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....
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.
There is no xorg.conf in 11.2
The OP was questioning the 11.2 installation.

Excellent question. The only thing I know is that it is now - in 11.2 - all done with "smoke and mirrors" and that it is all done "magically" at the time of booting the system.
Where the information is located to do all this is not known to me.
But then, Herr Wernher von Baun, is posting that creating an xorg.conf, using sax2, and whatever you put into it, will be used to get your video screen working correctly. Or so I read what Herr von Braun has stated.
