Don't you also need to find yourself a working xorg.conf? I seem to be
under the impression that the OP has a recently built new system.
"Xorg -configure" usually gives a working configuration file. Unless
you have nonstandard input devices or if you need to tweak the
settings for graphics and display.
The good thing is: you only need to set it up once and forget about
it. The bad thing is: you only set it up once and forget about it, so
the next time you install a new system you have to read the man page
again.
