Look at man xorg
Xorg -configure should give you a new xorg.conf that you can modify yourself
if needed.
Check your calendar. This is 2008, not 1998. And this is Debian,
not Slackware. We use dpkg-reconfigure.

Ron,
one of the few times I have to disagree with you: Yes this is 2008 and
we are running Debian, however, Xorg -configure will still work.
"-configure
When this option is specified, the Xorg server loads
all video driver modules, probes for available hardware, and
writes out an initial xorg.conf(5) file based on what was
detected. This option currently has some problems on
some platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to
bootstrap the configuration process. This option is only
available when the server is run as root (i.e, with
real-uid 0)."
IIRC it will drop a test config into the PWD you then can test out with
startx -config /path/to/file/just/written to test (though I am not sure
about the startx option, it might be something all together different).
I have had to do this a few times to get X configured, all though not in
about two years.
FWIW, I no longer get asked about the monitor selection after the first
time I run dpkg-reconfigure xorg.conf either.
