This is long-term suckage. The easiest way to do it now is plug in your new
monitor and (probably at a console) run:

  dpkg-reconfigure --priority=high xserver-xorg

When xorg.conf is banished forever (probably within a couple of upstream
cycles, such that you only need it if you have a really odd config), it is
unlikely that this will continue to be a problem. :-)
