[OpenIndiana-discuss] Configuring external monitor

[Mark Creamer]

Thank you for your assistance. The part I wasn't understanding was that
there was not already an xorg.conf file and I just needed to copy the one I
created through the tool to that file and restart X. Now works just fine.
Thanks again.
