As the headline says, how do I change this? Didn't find the xorg.conf file in the usual place. Is there a new way to configure this in 9.11?

It's in the usual place. I made a list of tweaks a while ago. I'm on my iPhone on a non 3g network or I'd do the search for you. Search for "welcome to xbmc" or hwcursor. I made a thread a while ago on my list of tweaks the location isnin there

That's where i thought i would find it but I can only find files like XF86Config and no Xorg.conf?

in Livecd there is none, you can install xbmc to a hdd/flash stick configure xorg.conf the way you want and then copy it into the /etc/X11 folder of the filesystem.squashfs file.
which needs to be extracted first and then rebuilt:
sudo mount -o loop -t squashfs /live/filesystem.squashfs /mnt
sudo mkdir /casper/chroot
sudo rsync -ax /mnt/. /casper/chroot/.
sudo umount /mnt
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /casper/chroot/etc/X11/xorg.conf
I dont know if this is necessary, but as it is a live cd the security risk should be minimal:
sudo chmod 777 /casper/chroot/etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo mksquashfs /casper/chroot /casper/filesystem.squashfs -noappend -always-use-fragments
by now you should have a new filesystem.squashfs in /casper and can try to boot it.
All commands are based on this website: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM
P.S.: If the nvidia/amd driver should not be loaded, mount nvidia or amd.ext3 and copy the files into the appropriate folders within /casper/chroot and built the squashfs file again.

Ok forgot to mention that it is a Live installed to HD solution. When i renamed the XF86config the system "created" a xorg.conf. Im way out of my comfort zone here but after editing this new file according to my old xorg it seems ok.
