If you are running XFree86 your configure options are as follows.

X -configure
xf86cfg
xf86config

If you're running x.org:

X -configure
xorgconfig
xorgcfg

Below is a sample x.org configuration file that might help you out.  At 
a minimum, you'll have to modify the "Device" section.

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier "X.org Configured"
	Screen 0 "NotebookScreen" 0 0
	#Screen 1 "ExternalScreen" RightOf "NotebookScreen"
	InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
