I know, I read the thread about your problem several months ago :)

I tried this out when I read your thread: unfortunately, it didn't work for me.

Anyway, just to be sure, I tried it out again, and it still don't work
for me (I did a backup of /etc before reinstall, so I used my old
xorg.conf file, which was the original one I've been using since I
installed Debian without any kind of problem... until this problem
appeared. I even still had the line that solved your problem in my
xorg.conf --though commented out, because it didn't work for me, as I
said--).

Thanks for your help.
