Unless I'm mistaken, I believe even Woody, as old as it is, has the
version of X that uses XF86Config-4 instead of XF86Config. So that might
be the first place to start looking.
I'd suggest running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86".
Even more so, I'd suggest upgrading to Testing, or my personal fave,
Sid, so you get newer software. For a desktop workstation, Testing and
Sid are plenty stable. Woody's just too old to be palatable to me on a
workstation.
You've posted a partial config file, and it looks like we're missing
some info in it that might be pertinent; for example, you have two
Device sections, but we have no idea which device section your config
file has been instructed to use. I'd suggest you post the entire file.
Also, the command "lspci" might provide relevant info on your video chipset.
