If X comes up, look at the output of xrandr again. If not, look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what went wrong.

AFAIK, no, you don't need to do anything else, just replace xorg.conf and restart X. Appropriate kernel modules and stuff should be loaded automatically. If something goes wrong, a report should be in Xorg.0.log. If there are no problems, xrandr should provide you with better resolution options and choose the highest one by default. HTH, :-) Marko
