Another resource is this page with various xorg.conf files for Mac's running linux.
http://mac.linux.be/content/xorgconf-files
The value is that you can just take the device section and put it into the /etc/xorg.conf.d directory using the rules from the Arch wiki. The Busi id's, device drivers and monitor settings will not change.

Since is it possible to damage a monitor, at least the older CRT's, with incorrect monitor settings, I would recommend that you try just device entries in the /etc/xorg.conf.d directory using the Arch linux naming conventions.
For example
For a 500mhz ibook g3 copy the device entry into /etc/xorg.conf.d/20-r128.conf
Code:
Section “Device”
Identifier    “Video”
Driver        “r128″
BusID        “PCI:0:16:0″
Option        “PanelWidth”    “1024″
Option        “PanelHeight”    “768″
Option        “UseFBDev”    “true”
Option        “NoInt10″    “true”
EndSection
Remove your xorg.conf file if it still exists. If left it is the last entry read and will over ride prior settings
