I have done a little digging, and I have seen that I don't have to generate an xorg.conf file. Supposedly, I can just edit one and save it in the right place, and all should be good. I was under the impression that I needed a specific xorg.conf file that was unique for my hardware.
I am trying to have my system set up such that if the computer reboots while my receiver/tv is turned off, X will still start at the correct resolution for my tv. What should I put in my xorg.conf to ensure X can boot without a monitor attached and turned on?

I have xbmc start automatically and to auto login with my xbmc user
I click logout.
At the login screen I press ctrl-alt-F1
login
$sudo -s
# /etc/init.d/gdm stop
bash: /etc/init.d/gdm: no such file or directory
(oh, I think I use lightdm instead)

I think I am using an intel video card. I just have an intel 1155 CPU with no external video card installed. I am not sure what ubuntu thinks it is, if that is important.
