You make an xorg.conf file.   We didn't get rid of xorg.conf, it's just
optional.   (This isn't new - it's been optional in every single Xorg release
shipped, but most distros didn't trust the defaults until recently, when they
improved enough that they were willing to stop forcing one on their users.
For instance, on Solaris, we always defaulted to shipping Xorg without one,
from the first integration of Xorg 6.7 in Solaris 10 in 2004, since we didn't
have an existing tool left over from the days XFree86 required them to make one
for us.)

To make Xorg use the vesa driver, all you need in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "vesa"
EndSection
