Make that

find / -name '*xorg.conf*' 2>/dev/null

You can omit the redirect to /dev/null if running as root.

Or try

https://manpages.debian.org/xorg.conf

if that manual page is not present on your system.
BTW, it's in xserver-xorg-core.
BTW2, I don't think there's a similar service for Devuan, yet(?)

There's also

https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html
https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents

where you can search for both files and packages.

All that said, these days the Xorg server works quite well without this
file, auto-detecting things upon startup, so chances are you don't have
this file.

Hope this helps,
