there are no errors in your Xorg.log file, so things should be working.  
the only problem i can see is that there are no 'Modes' in the "Display"
subsection in your xorg.conf.  it should look something like:

	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		24
		Modes		"1280x1024" "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
