Welcome to LQ !

To run the X -configure first you need to stop the X and login manager processes. Then from the tty console you will be able to run the command.

Regards

First, you do not run X as root, ever, it is NOT SUPPORTED.
Second, running X -configure is deprecated, do not do that. X will run happily without xorg.conf - except when you are using ATI or nVidia blobs.
Third, you need KMS in kernel for Intel graphics.
