What do you mean by stalled? Anyway, you have to restart Xorg for any
changes to be applied, so it might help if you do it with Xorg shut
down. If that doesn't work you can still edit xorg.conf by hand or run
'dexconf' to generate a new (and hopefully better) one.
dpkg-reconfigure is generally better for upgrades, especially with a
standard setup like yours.
From your xorg.conf:

This is not a problem, but "nv" might be better.

You don't need to specify this, it will be autodetected. You can just
comment it out or leave blank when prompted by debconf.

This looks like your problem. You already have the correct values to
put here ;)
