poc,
my apologies, it was late, early morning, when i saw your post and
some how (tired and worn out playing with f8 install) i missed reading;

where did system-config-display put 'xorg.conf'? i would guess it would have
gone under /etc/X11. being f9-pre, this is a guess, but logical that it would
not be changed.
It created the file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
of times that i have lost a file from power loss or lockup and hard
reset, was
because it was open. i would not think that x11 would hold a config file open
when it only needs to read it. then again.
had you made any changes to your x11 setup you should have at least had .old
file.
I didn't have a previous xorg.conf file. That's the whole issue: X
worked perfectly well without it, until the power fail, then it didn't
work (until I ran system-config-display and created an xorg.conf file).
