X will look under /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ for config snippets. for example here's a snippet to enable amdgpu on a system: Section "OutputClass" Identifier "AMDgpu" MatchDriver "amdgpu" Driver "amdgpu" from an admin perspective this is pretty sweet as now i only have to deploy overrides for the default configuration as autodetection works pretty well these days. also, when you install additional xf86 packages (like xf86-video-amdgpu or xf86-input-libinput) example configs are dropped here for reference: /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ cheers, -p -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org @nomadlogicLA
