I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 mini install with Bram77's auto-install script (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=141369). Everything is fine except one small problem. I'm trying to use emulators through Advanced Launcher but I've run into the problem where the screen blacks out after a few minutes of playing. In the past I've used an XBMCbuntu install and was able to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf as described in the end of TehCrucible's guide (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=129256) and it solved the problem.
With my current system I'm not able to do this because /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't exist. I searched around and found this may be because X runs without this file in a "default" mode but you are able to create an xorg.conf file by running Xorg -configure. At first try, it returned "Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0". I stopped XBMC, ran Xorg -configure again, and it has error below.
I just need to get an xorg.conf file where I can make the changes from TehCrucible's guide.
I'm not at all proficient with Linux. I think this may be something embarrassingly simple and maybe XBMC forums is not the right place to ask since this isn't directly related to XBMC.
