How do I set up compiz ? No xorg.conf anymore ?

Hi all,
How do I set up compiz. I downloaded compiz and the compiz-manager
using this wiki page.

http://wiki.debian.org/Compiz

I used the minimalist gtk option and then added the gnome-bit so that
it works with GNOME - The WM I use.

$ aptitude search compiz
p cairo-dock-compiz-icon-plugin - Cairo-dock - Compiz icon plug-in
p compiz - OpenGL window and compositing manager
i A compiz-core - OpenGL window and compositing manager
v compiz-core-abiversion-2009061 -

i compizconfig-settings-manager - Compizconfig Settings Manager
p libcompizconfig-dev - Configuration settings library for compiz
i A libcompizconfig0 - Configuration settings library for compiz
i A python-compizconfig - Compizconfig bindings for python

Now I'm on an Intel machine (GMA31 chipset) and there's no /etc/X11/xorg.conf

$ ls /etc/X11
app-defaults twm Xreset Xsession.d
default-display-manager X Xreset.d Xsession.options
fonts xinit Xresources XvMCConfig
rgb.txt xkb Xsession Xwrapper.

I searched and found this
http://linux.koolsolutions.com/2009/04/24/howto-resolve-x-server-video-driver-errorscrashes-in-debian-linux/

I am/was mainly looking for howto restart X.

So should I create an xorg.conf with the parameters given ?

Looking forward for help and advice as to how to proceed.
