I ended up going back to the packages from stable, but I took a look 
at my XF86Config-4 file (the working one) and realized that as far as 
I can tell, it has no mode lines. Could that have been causing the 
problem with the testing packages? Or if I'm just clueless, which 
lines am I supposed to be looking at? I pasted in a copy below.
Thanks for the help,
