Just one thing, in your "Device" Section there is :

Option "NoLogo" "FALSE"
...
Option "NoLogo" "TRUE"

I guess it is not a blocking error

I use the exact same video card, and your conf looks pretty good to me.. Got some nice tips from your file for mine.. (: There is one thing tho that strikes my mind a tad odd.. Now, I entered 131072 as my videoram.. And naturally it comes from 128*1024 but you have 128000.. The higher value works for me great.. Soo.. that might be worth a tweak.. Or then I just applied the 1024 rule to the wrong place.. (:

Did some more experimenting with your config..

Option "RenderAccel" "FALSE"
Im sure you have some reason for this, but with me it just cause crappy drawing in KDE of, well, everything.. (:
But pretty good work on the fonts you got there.. Needed to tweak a tad to more of my liking, but thanks for a great example..
