Cannot find a common directory

uuummm...
I cannot find my /etc/X11 directory to edit XF86Config. I'm trying to fix the scroll bar on my mouse.

What distro and version are your running? Most distros switched to xorg.conf quite a while ago.

Slackware 12.2
I think your right. I've seen xorg.conf as I was installing this OS.

You can search for the file "xorg.conf" by first doing

Code:

su

to become root, then

Code:

updatedb

to update the database for using "locate", then

Code:

locate xorg.conf

to see where the xorg.conf file is.

Even for systems with xorg there should be an /etc/X11 directory, for plain compatibility reasons. But do not look for XF86Config, because that one has been obsoleted. You need to edit xorg.conf for any changes.
