rhel7.2 is using systemd
this IS a paid for and registered install ? right?

but xorg.conf is still used if you make one

login to the redhat site with the credentials you set up with the license
and do a search

you WILL need to be logged in to read most of the search results

But servers normally do not have a GUI
so i am assuming that this is a desktop with a nvidia 3d card ( or a ati/amd one)

install the driver and set it there

not even redhat with the 10 year support is supporting even the very last rhel4.9
normal support for rhel4 ended in 2012



you use redhat FOR!!!! the support you have to buy $$$

or you use the free clone CentOS 7.2

red-hat customer portal account we have, but the installed OS is not registered as internet connection is not possible. just want to know the file name/location where display settings are kept so that it can be copied to several other systems in the network where the similar display requirements are. The file may be in binary too. Using the xrandr command I succeeded in attaining the requirement, but it does not save the config. in a file.

We're using server with GUI environment.

then add a second display section in the xorg.conf

rhel7 can still use one if it is there

Code:
Section "Monitor1"

 
    Identifier     "Monitor1"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    ModelName      "PlaceTheNameHERE"
    HorizSync       30.0 - 83.0
    VertRefresh     50.0 - 76.0
    Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

In rhel 7.1 there is no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/ path. Say for example, there is a projector and a monitor connected via DVI cable. Want to set resolution on projector 1280x1024 with refresh rate 60 and 1600x1200 with refresh rate 60 on the monitor with mirror configuration. So what should be the content of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file ? Can you please explain.
