Two ways of creating one, first boot into level 3 and create the xorg.conf file with 1) become root user $ su - passowrd: # Xorg -configure or --configure # cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf 2) use system-config-display --reconfigure and configure the specs manually. This should generate an xorg.conf file. I had the same situation running rawhide, one of the updates broke X and the kernel also had an oops, but putting back an xorg.conf file got me back on track.
