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.
