The newer Xorg do an autodetect and seem to override xorg.conf if it
exists (from my observation).
Auto detection also depends on the Xorg video drivers. I recently had a
problem with a LCD panel connected to an Nvidia Quadro FX card over
DVI. The vesa driver detected the monitor resolution correctly, but the
proprietary nvidia driver had problems reading EDID info and showed
a blank screen (the end user needed CUDA, so proprietary drivers were
essential). I finally had to dump the EDID data using Win7 and use it in Xorg.
