I have xorg on autodetect, but it frequently gets things wrong about the

way to extract the configuration of the running instane of xorg into a
configuration file?

On Squeeze man Xorg says:-
-configure
When this option is specified, the Xorg server loads all
video driver modules, probes for available hardware, and
writes out an initial xorg.conf(5) file based on what was
detected. This option currently has some problems on some
platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap
the configuration process. This option is only available
when the server is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
My suggestion would be:-
# /etc/init.d/gdm stop
# Xorg -configure
# /etc/init.d/gdm start
Substitute kdm for gdm with KDE
