It seems that xorg.conf doesn't exist in ubuntu 11.10 or xubuntu 11.10.

I'm running xubuntu 11.10. It boots in a flaky sort of way. During boot,
it gives me "Input Not Supported" floating all over the screen, and then
after a while it figures out this problem and then boots correctly.

Seems to me it wouldn't be too difficult for the very smart ubuntu
programmers, when the OS produces the "Input Not Supported" error or if
the monitor is "unknown",  to have the OS ask the user for information
about the monitor, the type of monitor and the resolution and the
refresh rate, and then test these settings and "Is this correct?" and
"Do you want to keep these settings?".  I hope something like this is
done next version of ubuntu and xubuntu. Automatic hardware detection is
great but if it doesn't work in a given case, the OS should fall back on
asking a question (and testing).
