If by obsolete you mean it is no longer required and does not get automatically generated, you are absolutely correct. However, if you're suggesting it is no longer read by the X11 system, that it is not correct. If the file is present, it will be processed and used for initial setup of X server according to the xorg-server (v1.15) documentation.
The reason I mentioned it is because she may have had custom screen resolutions defined in her previous xorg.conf which are no longer being recognized.
Unfortunately, I can only speculate at this point since it's hard to debug such a problem without access to the system and console.
Good luck OP. Let us know if/when you've resolved the issue. Seems like others are having similar problems based on the number of related posts on StackExchange and Ubuntu's launchpad bug tracker
