Try running X -configure as root. This will generate an xorg.conf.new
file in /root and you can test it by running X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
If it works you can then copy it to /etc/X11 and make any other
necessary changes. Having upgraded myself, I found I did not need to
regenerate the conf, just make the changes suggested in UPDATING like
the ModulePath stated above.
