As it works out you need to do a Xorg --configure, this will put a xorg11-new.cfg in your home directory. But it didnt work out me. I think its a view port issue but the screen is a bit scrambled and moved to the right. I do not have the config file to hand. I'll google a bit more and if I can not find a solution,I'll post the config file tonight and see if anything pops up.

Thanks
