If it is 5.3 most likely it's because XFree86 isn't used
anymore...xorg is the server X windows now. From what I understand
there isn't much difference. The config file is /etc/X11/xorg.conf
however.

To run a configuration (if it's installed) try xorgconfig it takes you
through a wizard. Also check the handbook I think details about the
switch are in there.
