You can always do # Xorg -configure Then test the configuration, instructions will appear after you run Xorg -configure. If you are satisfied/happy with it, copy it back to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. That will be the normal xorg.conf generated by xorg tools. xorgcfg was the old way of doing it, if I am not mistaken.
