Example Xorg.conf for Asus U36j

Can someone give me an example xorg.conf file for Asus U36j because when I use

hwd -x

display is crashing and can't be fixed until I remove xorg.conf. I need this to fix screen refresh rate.

Wrong sub-forum, and please do your own research for what an xorg.conf file looks like. Google is your friend.

I know how it look like but I'm not so advanced to write my own (especially that I'm using bumblebee to achieve optimus support), so I asked for some example that I will set to my needs.

User-centric
<snip>
This user-centric design necessarily implies a certain "do-it-yourself" approach to using the Arch distribution. Rather than pursuing assistance or requesting a new feature to be implemented by developers, Arch Linux users have a tendency to solve problems themselves and share the results with the community and development team – a "do first, then ask" philosophy. This is especially true for user-contributed packages found in the Arch User Repository – the official Arch Linux repository for community-maintained packages.

Taken from here. Emphasis mine.

Try things out, experiment with what works and doesn't work, THEN come back with questions.

Dear Haulet,

try running the command "Xorg -configure". This will write an xorg.conf.new file based on the available hardware on your laptop which you can modify accordingly to your needs.

Man pages and this website http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/ will be helpful.
