it is not created by default any more, but is honored if
present is my understanding, as for multi-head, and for
solving tricky scan problems

a pretty wide topic -- as I recall there is an option to emit
the config file. but addressing general X setup is robably
not something we want to do locally, so much as simply point
to the proper upstream archives?

Correct. Which is why I think that the entry should contain basics:
"create a new xorg.conf" , "adjust THIS section to modify the resolution"

Absolutely. I do not see the X manual replicated here. Just a 5 liner,
use $THISCOMMAND to create the file, edit $THISOTHER section to adjust
the resolution. For anything else, read $THAT.
