What happens is that the reconfigure will run, and then it will just stop abnormally. It is like the program is done, but it is not because I never get to set my screen or video card etc. This leaves my xorg.conf looking like this:

 Which is obviously incomplete.

I believe I'd try the -phigh option (see line above). If that doesn't work, I'd just start over with a new file by moving this one out of the way, and then running "X -configure" which will create a new xorg.conf file in your home directory (or in the directory you're currently in, I forget which). The output will tell you how to test it, or just go ahead and move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then "startx" or "/etc/init.d/[x|k|w|g]dm restart" to test it.
