You could install the NVIDIA linux driver from the nvidia webpage which will ask you to generate the xorg.conf during installation. To do that:
Determine your card:
$ lspci -vnn | grep VGA
and check for your card details. On my system i get the following output running the above command:
$ 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GK110GL [Quadro K6000] [10de:103a] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
So you see im using a Quadro K6000. Head over to NVIDIA Drivers entry page and search the proper driver for your card:
Click search and download the driver to your desktop.
The do the following to install the driver:
During the installation answer YES when you get asked if the installer should generate the xorg.conf file.
If you already have the nvidia packages installed from the repositories user Terrance comment is fine
nvidia-xconfig
from the command line to create a xorg.conf.
