Filipe,
see here for more info:

An excerpt:
...
What if I do not have an xorg config file?
If xorg.conf is missing for some reason, Xorg will probe your hardware on every startup.
Though this works fine in most cases, some settings remain inaccessible.
To create a starting point for customization, do the following:
Switch to a console as root (not a terminal emulator in X), then run:
/etc/init.d/gdm stop
/etc/init.d/gdm3 stop
/etc/init.d/kdm stop
/etc/init.d/xdm stop
cd /etc/X11/
Xorg -configure
Alternatively, reboot the machine in single user mode, then run:
cd /etc/X11/
Xorg -configure
Follow the on-screen instructions. This should give you something to work with.
Run X
After installation run:
startx
or as root run:
service gdm start
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Benedict
