Hi Théo,

I'm not sure about a more direct way of determining the path to the final xorg 
config (I'm still trying to learn/discover how to find the right path to 
various generated configs like that where there are multiple versions in 
/gnu/store), but if you've (attempted to) run xorg with your current system 
profile you can find the paths in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. For example, lines 14-16 
of my Xorg.0.log:

[    30.068] (++) Using config file: 
"/gnu/store/w1zvqxc4vzkifpjrs07is7qs3h3x3g1x-xserver.conf"
[    30.068] (++) Using config directory: 
"/gnu/store/srgk57icx1mv689ildw2937ik6pyw9q3-xorg.conf.d"
[    30.068] (==) Using system config directory 
"/gnu/store/hllpqzv60p9vakrb2p98fvfksdqwcc9j-xorg-server-21.1.2/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"

HTH!
