There is no such file. If I create one following the "template" proposed by J Leslie Turriff, uncommenting:
# Section "Monitor" Identifier "Default Monitor"
# ## If your monitor doesn't support DDC you may override the # ## defaults here # #HorizSync 28-85 # #VertRefresh 50-100 # # ## Add your mode lines here, use e.g the cvt tool Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080" # EndSection
This leads to a non-booting system (error message about Plymouth failing). If I manage to boot to a command line, startx does not work, complaining that "Identidier" is not a correct command.
It's been a few yeras I have lost the use of editing these files - It now usually "just works" and I have lost track of *how* it's (supposed to) works.
