I was told by someone in an Ubuntu support mailing list that you can
make a copy of the xorg.conf file that has the proper video card and
monitor configurations and overwrite the xorg.conf file in a new
install which doesn't properly detect these settings and the copied
file will work.

Is this true? The next release of Ubuntu is coming up and I want to
do a full reinstall rather than an upgrade, so can I use my existing
xorg.comf file to make my current display settings work properly?
