Where is xorgconfig?


Short version:
I have to edit xorg.conf, but I can't do it with editor. xorgconfig should do the job, but I can't find it. Should it be in /usr/X11R6/bin/ ?

[root@dhcppc0 sami]# xorgconfig
bash: xorgconfig: command not found

Fedora Core 4, Gnome, x86_64

Long version:
Couple of days ago I bought a new wireless USB keyboard:
globlink gkm-700
And now I have to edit xorg.conf. System-config-keyboard don't do the job and didn't find any other programs to do the changes.

/proc/bus/input/devices:

B: REL=147
B: ABS=100000000
So, the system recognizes the new keyboard and trackball.
xorg.conf is something like this:

Quote:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
Load "dri"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "fi"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
I have used linux only couple of weeks and I really don't want to edit xorg.conf manually. I'm using Fedora Core 4 and Gnome in x86_64. Should I download something extra or what?

Try to locate it with 'locate xorgconfig' without the single quotes

The answer was here:

/questions/showthread.php?t=287973
(I am newbie, can't post URLs. You know the beginning.)

There is not xorgconfig at all. System-config-keyboard should make the changes to xorg.conf, but it is impossible to change the type of keyboard from AT to USB.
