Hi Guys,

I'm in the middle of trying to setup dual monitors on ubuntu and would like to backup my xorg.conf...

The documentation I've been thus far say to do the following:

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup

But I don't see the xorg.conf file anywhere... Am I missing something? Where is this located?
