How to get default xorg.conf back?

I accidentally modified my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Can I just delete it or I am toasted? Is there anything I should be worried about. I'm not having any issue except the twitchy/shaky touchpad. I have a Dell Inspiron n4050. How can I get my default xorg.conf back? and if possible how can I remove the twitchy/shaky touchpad? I saw a lot of threads regarding this issue but I could not get the solution to it. Thanks

The default on Ubuntu is to not have an xorg.conf. Just removing it should be fine. If you're using the proprietary Nvidia drivers, you may need to just re-run the nvidia-settings tool, and have it write out a new xorg.conf. I don't have an answer for the touchpad though.
