As discussed in Section 11.2.2 & 11.2.6 of the FAQ, X -configure creates a xorg.conf configuration file for X. In the majority of cases, there is no need to manually create this file.

There are situations where generating this file manually can correct (or allow the user to hand-edit the file...) errors in auto-detection, but again, this is rarely needed anymore.
