   Actually, you have a directory /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/   
   And you probably have a default file there named 10-libvnc.conf   
   that's entirely comments. You can put your own files there, too,   
   starting with two digits and a dash, and startx will execute   
   all those files in numerical order.   
      
   I have just one extra file there called 11-monitor.conf containing just   
     Section "Monitor"   
         Identifier "HDMI-1"   
     ### Option "PreferredMode" "2048x1152"   
         Option "PreferredMode" "3840x2160"   
     EndSection   
   to increase the default resolution (commented as "2048x1152")   
   on my connected HDMI-1 that startx starts up with. (Run xrandr   
   with no args to see all that stuff.)   
      
   And you can have lots of different kinds of Section blocks,   
   each with lots of different commands, allowing you to configure   
   just about anything X-related. And there's a whole bunch of   
   documentation about all that, but I'm not recalling where it is.   
   Somebody want to remind us about that?...
