Should go into /etc/X11/org.conf. At least on my system. On mine there is a
section like this:

# **********************************************************************
# Graphics device section
# **********************************************************************


Section "Device"
    Identifier  "ASUS"
    Driver      "radeon"
    #VideoRam    65536
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
