no xorg.conf on debian5.02

[abdelkader belahcene]

Hi,
I was suprised by the xorg on debian 5.02 (the latest release). There is no file xorg.conf in /etc/X11.
I want to change the resolution for the screen to 1280x1024 , 1024x768   and the default Keyboard ,  where to do ii.
In another word  from where the xorg takes the parameter for the X ( keyboard, mouse, display, resolution .....)

thanks for help
best regards
bela

Thanks for reply,
But I have to do it during the installation, the content of the file /etc/apt/sources is already read and used.

thanks

X.org nowadays tries to autoconfigure itself. If everything works, you
don't need an xorg.conf anymore. If it doesn't, you can write a minimal
/etc/X11/xorg.conf where you just set explicitly what X.org doesn't pick
up automatically.

Regarding the problem with the resolution, you should just need
something like:

Section "Screen"
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubsection
EndSection

(Fill in resolutions as you like.)
