No, that's deprecated since Squeeze. But I can try it :-)

Okay, let's see what happens. First, I let xserver generates the
xorg.conf for me:
service gdm3 stop
Xorg -configure
It outputs an error¹ an the file is not generated (oh, well, this can be
something to report).
Okay, let's try another command:
dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
Which makes nothing... no change, no questions, no file :-?
Okay, I will generate the file manually:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Virtual 3000 2000
EndSubSection
EndSection
When starting gdm3 I only get a black screen with the GNOME cursor but
nothing more. And I can't jump to a tty so I have to force a shutdown.
So, unless I have a way to generate a workable "xorg.conf" file, I cannot
try :-)
¹ Error: "(...) Number of created screens does not match number of
detected devices. Configuration failed. Server terminated with error (2).
Closing log file."
