I think one's still created, where it was in /etc/X11. I *REALLY* am not
happy - I had to screw around for a while getting mine to work right:
brand new, as I've mentioned, Dell Precision 3500 with an Nvidia card.
There's no system-config-display, apparently, so I had to use startx. Then
it didn't detect the second monitor. I installed kmod-nvidia from elrepo,
and then had to rmmod nouveau, then I had to copy my xorg.conf from my old
system: didn't identify the monitor, didn't offer me the option to
manually configure/choose the monitor, and on, and on.

If the host X works the way you want, try copying /etc/X11/xorg.conf to
the guest.
