OK, the log files are long gone, but I do have the previous xorg.conf backed
up. The only differences in the new config file that I'm seeing are 1) a lack
of "GLcore" in the modules section, and 2) the new section pertaining to the
Synaptics Touchpad which has been giving me fits as well(see bug #363363).

OK, now that I have the syntax correct, I can startx properly with 100 dpi.
rbochan@lap:~$ ps ax |grep x
5068 tty1 S+ 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/startx -- -dpi 100
5085 tty1 S+ 0:00 xinit /home/rbochan/.xinitrc -- /usr/bin/X -dpi
100 -auth /home/rbochan/.serverauth.5068
However, why am I having to add the dpi switch to the startx command now,
after all this time (2+ years) running Sid on the machine without having to
do so before? It has _always_ defaulted to 100 dpi previously, even when
XFree86 was still in the rotation.
