That's because, with Xorg, the command should be "Xorg -configure".

However, don't expect too much from the output of this command.  On my
system it couldn't recognize the ATI Radeon card I have (it elected to use
the ati driver rather than the radeon driver).

Your best bet for X is to let the system generate one, then go in and
hand-edit the file to match your hardware specifications.  Focus
specifically on the definition for the driver, screens, and monitors.

All of the specs for your particular components are available online (for
the monitor frequency stuff), and basic configuration for the driver/screens
should almost work out of the box.

My x, as well, initially wanted to drive the monitor at 1900x1600 (or
something like that) which actually did work although it was a little too
small to work with.  By adding lower modes to xorg.conf resolved this
problem but it was a manual process (not an automagic one).
