Need sample xorg.conf for Intel Q35 Express chipset

[Manish Jain]

Hello Warren/Polytropon,

Thanks a lot for the information.

As Polytropon stated, xorg.conf is generally not needed nowadays. So I 
just did a startx and things worked out fine. However, this behaviour is 
more Windowish than Unixish. I would like to remember the -configure 
option for my own sake.


Thanks again to you and Polytropon.
