Perhaps you should try getting X to write a configuration
file for you to modify, rather than trying to write one from
scratch yourself. The normal way if doing this is to run
# Xorg -configure
when X isn't running. That will create an xorg.conf in the
current directory which you can move to /etc/X11/ and test
it at first with no modification, to see if X still runs ok.
If so, then try modifying it.
BTW have you yet tried changing the font size in a VC instead
of changing the resolution? Are you still there?
Cheers,
David.
