How are you testing that xorg.conf file? Are you actually running 'startx' with it in place, or are you running 'Xorg -config xorg.conf'?

Well all you're going to get with that command is a blank screen. Xorg doesn't draw anything these days till the first window is opened or you use the -retro option.
