No.

You'll have to create one. xorg looks in a number of different places
for it, including /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and if it fails to find one it
will make up values that should work for most systems, though it
seldom does what you want with dual head systems (this seems to be
true everywhere - Mac & Windows & FreeBSD all default to mirroring one
display on all available monitors).
BTW, I discovered that the nvidea driver used by the 2008.05
distribution (updated to b90) doesn't do xrandr; you have to use
Xinerama. The upside is that the nvidia-settings program in the
distribution provides a nice gui for doing all this and saving the
resulting xorg.conf. The downside is that enabling/disabling a monitor
requires restarting X, so I'm not sure it's suitable for your laptop.
