No (smile)! Apparently, it creates its own file on the fly.
Quoting from the log file :
...
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file
...
Running "getconfig -X 70000000 -I \
/etc/X11,/usr/etc/X11,/usr/lib/xorg/modules,/usr/lib/X11/getconfig \
-v 0x10de -d 0x0181 -r 0xa2 -s 0x1043 -b 0x80bb -c 0x0300"
New driver is "nv"

The whole log file is 748 lines.

I take it you mean "Yes, it is no longer essential" ... (smile)
So any advice from anyone: should I 'xorgconfig' (whatever it's called)
or copy the old xorg.conf from my back-up /etc/X11-mono/
or just leave things as they are ?
