If this doesn't create a file which works for you, you can still install 
system-config-display with yum, run that, and use the tool which has been 
standard for years (or at least the latest incarnation of it).

The xorg.conf file is needed in so many cases, I have no idea why creation 
wasn't part of the install. Or maybe there's a secret other file to hold all the 
options most people want to provide for a laptop, and I just haven't found the 
information on it.
