It should! :-)

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.
