The Handbook has an up-to-date section on xorg configuration:

With dbus and hal enabled, and one monitor, maybe not.  Try it.

Copy the previous xorg.conf, edit to take advantage of new xorg features 
or changes.  You can use X -configure, but the only section that it does 
well is the Device section with all the commented options.
