These sorts of problems usually involve the hardware graphics chip set and the software graphics driver. A chorus of questions like yours crop up on various forums every time there is a new release of a Linux distribution or of the X distribution they all depend on. It's difficult to diagnose your particular problem but I'd look first at the specific software driver you're using and see if I could find either a more up-to-date version or an alternative driver that works with your chipset. I know we're a copacetic bunch here, but you're more likely to find helpful information on a Ubuntu or X forum. The problem on general forums, of course, is separating the wheat from the chaff.

Am I doing something really stupid? Any help and Actually, that should be "sudo Xorg -configure" to generate the conf file, but then you have to figure out what options and settings you need. Not such an easy task. Are you doing something really stupid? That depends on who you ask. I don't think so (as long as no blood was involved!) but my wife would say yes.
