A something like a following xorg.conf shouldn't be sufficient?

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier    "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Default Screen"
    Monitor       "Configured Monitor"
    Device        "Configured Video Device"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth     24
        Modes     "1280x1024"
    EndSubSection
EndSection 

I got that sample from random comment from net, but - as far i can
see - it is a valid example.
