And I'm curious as to how Xorg determines its monitor resolution choices when there is no xorg.conf file.
X server queries the monitor for supported resolutions by reading the EDID data, and uses the best setting available as the default. See, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDID . Also take a look inside /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of xrandr for what was autodetected.
Is there a good tutorial on this subject available?
man xrandr
