I should probably investigate and come up with a more comprehensive, hand-holdy note.
My recollection is that s-c-d is not installed by default, but it does have --set and --noui switches that allow you to turn off any attempts to use a GUI mode while setting parameters.
Indeed, I just confirmed that it's not installed by default (and noticed the --set and --noui parameters independently :>)
I believe running Xorg -configure as root from *outside* of X will create a /root/xorg.conf.new file which you can move to /etc/X11/xorg.conf , as an alternative method.
Just so!
So you guys shamed me into doing it properly:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_xorg.conf
let me know if you see any problems there. Or just fix them, it's a wiki. :) I'll be linking to it from anywhere which suggests creating an xorg.conf file.
