That's really weird, you should see the contents of your xorg.conf in the nano text editor. If it was never generated, for some reason, then you have to do what jogege suggested. It's a bit awkward going through that setup, but you need a base xorg.conf file. Remember linux is case sensitive so the X11 directory has to be capitalized.
Here's my xorg.conf on my server that has an ATI card. It uses the ati driver, which should work for you:
Code:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

I would save this to a file called xorg.conf then ftp into the ubuntu machine and save the file in the /etc/X11 directory. I think it'll work fine for you- the pci busID might have to be changed (my laptop uses BusID "PCI:2:0:0"). If you notice the file already exists then post the contents here.
