save your xorg.conf then build a new one. What you've got is incomplete and therefore not working.
Specifically it's looking for "Default Screen" to be defined. Since it's not, the program can't start properly.
Use the xorg configuration program to build the xorg.conf - it's usually easier than doing it by hand. I forget what it's called, but under Debian or one of its derivatives, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will do it.
