I did it in the shell....

There is no xorg.conf file anymore. You don't need it.
if you mean how to edit files inside /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ folder then
You can do it in two ways

1) open a konsole
type give root password
then
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/some_file

or
2) open a konsole and type as user in the window give root password

To change screen resolution i haven't mod xorg.conf? On the web i read it and now I'm a little confused, sorry.

You can change screen resolution from systemsettings -> hardware -> screen

Ye, i know it. But the problem, as you could read in the previous post is in in that option there aren't the resolutions 1680x1050 and 1366x768 although I installed ati driver. So some users told me to mod xorg.conf but I can't.. This is my problem.

Thx for help

ok. I dont have an ati card.
In order to create a minimal working xorg.conf file run the following command but since you need a xorg.conf look here
http://www.salixos.org/wiki/index.php/H ... ATI_Driver

Alla fine son riuscito a modifica il file xorg. Ma ora non parte piu nulla (non si avvia piu il motore x)

Try this.
log in init 3 runlevel
remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and startx
So you return to previous stage and use x system again.

In the shell i log with my account, then I wrote (with root permission) "remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and appear "command not found"

rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Perfect, it works again. In the next days i'll try to ri-edit xorg.conf and if I've problem I'll allert u.

Thx for help, bro


@edit: Ok, I failed... when I try to mod xorg.conf server X crash.

This is the configuration of my xorg,conf
