I don't think it would work - the original xorg.conf was generated by dpkg.

sysv-rc-conf works very well. I don't mind a lack of GUI tools now, but I was glad of them when I was a newbie.

original xorg.conf was generated by dpkg. Do you mean that it wouldn't allow increasing the resolution? When I ran "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", it offered many different resolutions, most of which were larger than the maximum resolution of my LCD (1024x768). I did tell it to not autodetect the hardware, though, in order to reuse the previously-chosen settings.
