It's an optional file. Modern versions of Xorg and modern hardware do a lot better job of automatically detecting what needs to be done, so most people won't need one. > Having dificulty getting LibreOffice 25.8 to show scroll bar icons > and not getting the answers I need from ask.libreoffice.org, I started > looking at X11 configuration. I sincerely doubt that the Xorg configuration will have anything to do with the widgets drawn by an application. Xorg configuration would control things like the overall screen resolution and refresh rate, not the details of client applications. You're most likely going to need answers from the developers or support personnel of the application in question, or the underlying toolkit that it uses (Gtk, Qt, etc.). > So far I've not found a way to get xserver, xorg, or X to tell > what configuration it's running under. > Is there a command that might answer those questions? Find the relevant Xorg.0.log file (either in ~/.local/share/xorg/ or in /var/log/) for details provided by the X server as it starts up. You can also get some information from xdpyinfo, or inxi. I still don't think this will answer your questions about scroll bars.
