Versions of Slackware 13.0 and earlier have xorg.conf. Later versions 
don't. So maybe an earlier version of a Debian derivative will have 
xorg.conf.  Knoppix does I know. 

Eliminating xorg.conf was one of those fixes of something that wasn't 
broken in the first place. 

Of course there is a limit to the screen resolution of your monitor 
and video card.
