XF64Config file. Could be one of:
/etc/X11/XF86-Config-4
/etc/XF86Config
/usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
/usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config
or something along those lines (I don't know Ubunto or Debian).

I don't know what exactly you'll need to add. Maybe you can grab the
corresponding file off the Live CD and use that.

Good luck!
