Use vi to edit the file.
You don’t need X to edit a file with vi.
Learn a UNIX shell — you’ll be much more marketable if you know how to do things from a shell than if you’re GUI dependent.

If you don’t want to take the time to learn how to use vi or vim, nano is an easier solution, and comes installed on most distros.
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Works more like a notepad than vi does.
