Hi Gary,
man script
(not related with X)
AFAIK, xorgcfg has been around since Xorg has existed. and before that, xfree86cfg (which has existed since 1995 at least). btw, if you replace 'cfg' with 'conf' you get a text-based version of the same tool, in case the autodetect doesnt work.

It would do it if you start X by hand (as opposed to start it via /etc/ttys with XDM or via gdm/kdm)...it would put all the info in /var/log/Xorg.0.log too.
