OpenSolaris calls the X configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but
defaults to not having one anywhere and using runtime generated
auto-configuration.   You can see what configuration it is using
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, including a dump of the autoconfiguration
settings you could copy into /etc/X11/xorg.conf if autoconfig is
being used.
