if you're just interested in seeing if it's there, try this:
find / -name "xorg.conf"
Try:
locate xorg.conf

find, but
with huge disks searching everywhere would take, well, a while.

this is true and a good tip. it is quicker. however, xorg.conf could
have been created before his locate database was recomputed to
include
it. figured i'd cover all his bases.
Even quicker method (as compared to refreshing a locate
database)
for searching for a .conf file...
find /usr/local/etc /etc -name "BLAH.conf"
One should know that almost all conf files are located in /
usr/local/
etc or /etc in FreeBSD.

one should also know that after executing "Xorg -configure", the
generated conf file is in /root and not in either /usr/local/etc or
/etc - it is manually copied to /etc/X11 later.
so find /usr/local/etc /etc -name "BLAH.conf" is quicker, but will
miss the file
Ah... I see. Well, the files are almost always placed in /root or ~/
it seems when configuring items. Just make sure to search for hidden
files.
