To ask a really dumb question, why are you doing "Xorg -configure"? One
reason that there has been a lot of breakage in Xorg -configure is that it
is so little used and less often needed.

I just start out with an empty xorg.conf file and startx (with a reasonable
.xinitrc file). Then, if I need more stuff, I just add it to the xorg.conf
file. This sytem is Intel, but all I have in xorg.conf is:
