Create a xorg.conf file
xorgconfig is an interactive command for generating an xorg.conf file for use with Xorg X servers.
This program will create a basic xorg.conf file, based on menu selections you make. It will ask for a pathname when it is ready to write the file.
The xorg.conf file usually resides in /etc/X11 or /usr/X11R6/etc/X11. If no xorg.conf file is present there, Xorg will probe the system to autoconfigure itself. You can run Xorg -configure to generate a xorg.conf
Before using this program, make sure you know what video card you have, and preferably also the chipset it uses and the amount of video memory on your video card, as well as the specifications of your monitor. Run lspci command to obtained information about your card.
[code]# xorgconfig[/code]

FOr all who ended up searching this page.the new method for configuring /etc/X11/xorg.conf is by running as root in any console login screen with out X running:

Thanks to all of you. I was looking for a method whereby I could configure the display from console if the resolution went out of synch due to a wrong resolution.
