Customzing xorg config in Fedora 10

Hi Everyone,
I'm running Fedora 10 on a HP Compaq nx7400 laptop (fresh install, was
using Fedora 9 before), which also has an external 20" LCD attached to
it.
In Fedora 9, I added a "Virtual 3360 1050" line to the Screen section in
xorg.conf in order to run my desktop on both displays. In Fedora 10, a
xorg.conf file is no longer created, so I'm not clear on how to
duplicate my old dual display config.
I've found a few "How To" pages for creating a very limited xorg.conf to
do what I want, but each time I create the file and then restart xorg,
the laptop locks up. To fix, I have to ssh to it, reboot, remove the
xorg.conf, and then continue the boot process.
What should the xorg.conf file look like so that I may add my custom
"Virtual" line? I don't want to add anything more than the bare minimum
necessary for this to work.
Regards,
Ranbir
