current:
grep / /var/log/Xorg.0.log
	"Builtin Default vesa Screen 0" for depth/fbbpp 24/32
[    41.376] (==) Using default built-in configuration (39 lines)

I too have no xorg.conf in the list of dirs. at base of man Xorg
but see man Xorg:
       -configure
               When this option is specified, the Xorg server loads all video
               driver modules, probes for available hardware, and writes out
               an initial xorg.conf(5)
