Remove the file so that there is no file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The bad solution is `sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf` (deletes the file), the better solution is `sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup` (moves the file, so that you can move it back later if you wish).

When the file is gone, Xorg will automatically create a "minimal" xorg.conf, but there will be no settings that can disturb the screen resolution setting process. Basically, this eliminates the potential for errors due to problems in xorg.conf.
