Fedora Linux reconfigure X server

To reconfigure the X server on a Fedora Linux system, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal and stop the X server using the following command:
sudo systemctl stop gdm
  1. Generate a new X configuration file using the "Xorg -configure" command:
Xorg -configure

This command will generate a file called "xorg.conf.new" in the current directory.

  1. Review the generated configuration file and make any necessary changes. You may need to consult the documentation for your hardware or the Xorg website for more information on specific options.

  2. Save the configuration file as "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". You will need to use "sudo" to do this, as the file is owned by the root user:

sudo mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
  1. Start the X server using the following command:
sudo systemctl start gdm
  1. Log in to your desktop environment and test the X server to make sure it is working correctly.

Keep in mind that reconfiguring the X server can be a complex process, and it may require some knowledge of Xorg configuration and hardware compatibility.
