    Why 7.4.2 doesn't have xorg.conf file, why /etc/X11 is read-only?

    I can't build an xorg.conf file, even as superuser, unlike in the earlier versions. Also there is not such file present.
    Please explain.
    Regards

    When I list the file attributes of /etc/X11 it is shown as in standard listing from the terminal in
    Code:
    init 2
    :
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 13 Jun 28 2008 X -> /usr/bin/Xorg
    as:
    -????????? ? ? ? ? ? xorg.conf

    This is a known problem in Knoppix.
    Refer to /mnt-system/KNOPPIX/knoppix-cheatcodes.txt:
    If you would like to edit your X-Server configuration manually
    (config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf), use "knoppix 2" to boot
    into runlevel 2 (textmode only) and, after changing the X
    configuration, start the X environment with "init 5". Note that
    you can always leave the graphical environment with "init 2", and
    restart it later with "init 5".

    That's what surprised me! I knew that, but still couldn't in init 2 or 3.
    Thank you for posting your views.
