/var/log/Xorg.log.0 (I think thats what it is named, its pretty easy to find in /var/log) will tell you what config file X is using.
X _may_ work without a config file _if_ everything is auto detected, but I have never struck it (then again all my hardware is oldish). More likely it is working with an XFree config file in the same directory. Anyway, the log file will tell you.
