I don't know what you are doing, but you'll have to create one. by default MX does not use a xorg.conf file.

Is this to do with zram i.e. are you trying to make backing storage for zram or zswap? If so try this:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ ... #writeback
EDIT: Most likely you are trying to create an X-server backing store so that you can access the x-server over the network and need a backing store to reduce the graphical delay.
In that case, create this file
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-backing-store.conf
with contents:
Code: Select all
Section "Device"
Option "BackingStore" "on"
EndSection
Method 2:
I think backing store is on by default so you might be able to just past the -bs argument during x startup, which disables backing store support on all screens according to:

Guess it turned out to be more more of an Xorg question than MX linux issue. BItterTruth pointed me in the right direction and I now have the tools to deal with the BackingStore graphics option.
Thanks!
