I have just done a minimal install of Fedora Core 3. Using yum I installed the xorg-x11 package and its dependency packages. Then I tried running xorgconfig to get it setup, but got a command not found error. I tried googling but that was no help.

I'm guessing that it has been replaced by a new command, or maybe I need to install another package. Does anybody know how I can get it set up?

Thanks in advance.

the configfile(s) is in /etc/X11

look at xorg.conf

Yeah, I know about that. But I have only just installed X, so I have no xorg.conf.

Generally you can create an xorg.conf file by running the comand 'xorgconfig' and following the prompts, but that command isn't working.

EDIT: Well the problem is solved... Kind of. It seems that the Fedora crew in their infinite wisdom actually removed xorgconfig from the xorg tools package. It is replaced by system-config-display which I have just installed, along with its insane lot of dependency apps.

That is just totally fucking stupid. I'm getting sick of fedora already.

I had sort of the same problem in Slack 10.0 the other day.
I've always used xf86cfg -textmode to set up my xf86.conf file
I logged in as my user and found no xorgcfg command. I su'ed to root, and still found no such command, but then I logged in purely as root at some point (just a fluke I did) and voilá, there I found xorgconfig and xorgcfg.

Don't know if it's the same with Fedora though.

Redhat/Fedora uses system-config-display. I had this problem a while ago whilst trying to configure my graphics card. Anyway system-config-display seems to do a good job, but I still prefer xorgconfig.
