Because the current version of xorg is supposed to detect automatically 
the hardware and get all the necessary configuration data by itself. 
This allows the user to change the hardware without needing to edit 
configuration files, among other advantages.
Of course, this does not work in 100% of the cases. You can run system-
config-display to generate xorg.conf and then edit it manually if the 
automatic procedure fails to detect your hardware correctly.
