In an emergency: Kill gdm/kdm/xdm to stop any currently running X
Windows session.
Run
Xorg -configure
as root.
This generates an new xorg.conf based on an X best guess as to your
hardware.
The screen of output ends:
Your xorg.conf is /root/xorg.conf.new
To test the server, run 'X -config /root/xorg.conf.new'
[If you do run that command and you get the grey screen with an X shaped
cursor, then the automatically generated configuration file is probably
correct and can be copied to /etc/X11/xorg.conf ].
Hope this helps somebody,
