Or am I missing the point? Two things you can do: - Create the config file, start X, and send us the config and log file. We'll help you fix the errors. - Start x, read the log file, and find out which config file it uses. X will look in multiple places for a config file to use, and when the one's not present that you deleted, it probably finds one in a different location. You can then copy that config file, and extend it to include better resolutions.
