Can't Get XWindows Up

Hi,

I have no experience with stuff You're trying to do, just let me give
some generic tips.

1. Are You sure, You are running Xorg with xorg.conf.new file?
'Cause by default it uses /etc/X11/xorg.conf
So, maybe You should rename the file...

2. You've got there sth like:

>     HorizSync   31.0 - 60.0
>     HorizSync   60.0 - 75.0
>     VerRefresh  56.2 - 75.0
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think You don't have to provide two
times HorizSync.

3. You don't have any resolutions specified  in conf file.

For example:
##
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
                Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection
##

4. You can approximate the desired V and H frequencies.
Suppose You want to work with resolution 1024x768 and with refresh 75kHz
(let's assume Your device can handle this):

So, 
VertRefresh should be sth like 50-90

HorizSync is VertRefresh*(number_of_lines),
75Hz*768=57.6kHz
