HP Pavilion zd8000 Xorg anomaly

My system had crashed and it caused a directory to los it's dot and dot-dot 
entries. This was a directory that was used for iso-codes and everytie I 
started X,  it would hang.

So I didn't want to format the drive, too extreme.  So I de-installed all my 
ports to re-install.  After I got the ports un-installed, I was able to fix 
the filesystem problem with fsck.  I tried beforehand,but it was way too many 
fsck issues.


Anyway, I have somehow LOST my xorg.conf that WORKED.

It was previously generated by xorg -configure.

That doesn't work anymore.

I am only able to us the vesa driver now.  So I'm stuck with 1024x768, instead 
of 1440x900.

I believe this was caused by the recent xorg update. I had been stable with X 
for YEARS.
