Configuration File

The Xorg server uses a configuration file as the primary mechanism for 
providing configuration and run-time parameters. The configuration file 
format is described in detail in the xorg.conf(5) manual page.

Note that this release features significant improvements for running the 
server without a configuration file, so many users may find that that 
they don't need a configuration file.

If you do need to customize the configuration file, see the xorg.conf 
manual page . You can also check the driver-specific manual pages and the 
related documentation (found at driver tables) also.

The recommended method for generating a configuration file is to use the 
Xorg server itself. Run as root:

Xorg -configure
        
and follow the instructions.

And also, there is specific guide for input devices:

We all know that "xorg.conf" is deprecated but still useful when things 
go wrong.
