You can still use an xorg.conf file. If the file is missing, then
X.org will use default values as it sees fit. This works for most
people so the big distros have stopped shipping X.org with a conf file
which was honestly a lot of hassle to set up correctly.

Having said that, if you wanted to use a conf file, it's still
possible to generate a file that sets the defaults and then you can
tweak it how you like. I'm not sure the preferred way to do this on
Ubuntu, but I know that running "Xorg -configure" as root will work on
all systems (this should create /root/xorg.conf.new, which you then
have to copy to /etc/X11/xorg.conf).

Hope that helps.
