No, don't add them. Run them (in a terminal window). There's no xorg.conf - xorg is increasingly tending towards automagic rather than conf files. >> Hmm although from those screenshots you sent, it's possible that if >> grandr can't find it then xrandr can't find it either.

One factor I'd forgotten - I've only ever been using VGA to connect my external screens, not DVI. Anyone else done DVI? Does it need any special modules for example?
