Since you didn't provide more info I guessed you assumed you need one,
while with reasonably recent hardware it's not needed in 99% of the
cases ;)

That's a good reason for an xorg.conf ;)

Could you provide more details why you have to change drivers?

The big question about the monitor is if it (correctly) sends EDID data
to the video card. Please post the full /var/log/Xorg.0.log after
starting without any xorg.conf.

You don't have to specify everything in xorg.conf, just the minimal
stuff to get your monitor working as you want it. Assuming your monitor
doesn't send (correct) EDID data you'll need at least something like
this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "My Monitor"
HorizSync XX XX
VertRefresh YY YY
EndSection
The values for XX and YY should be taken from the monitors
manual/specifications, otherwise you can fry it.
With this info Xorg might be able to setup a usable resolution/refresh
rate. The next step (if needed) would be to specify one ore more
resolutions from which Xorg can choose (default will be the highest). If
this is still not enough you'll need to generate a Modeline specific to
your monitor.
Hope this is enough info to get you going. If you get stuck feel free to
ask for more infos on list[1], but always attach full xorg.conf (or
xorg.conf.d files) and the respective /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
[1] BTW, I do read the list, CC-ing me is not necessary ;)
