As I can see in the files you submit, you configure X with the wrong option...
Try to configure it first with X -configure (with ONE dash befor the configure)

This will implies X to detect your hardware and to generate a first xorg.conf
with some basic options in the current directory as xorg.conf.new.

After that you have to start X with X -config [path to xorg.conf.new] and see if
it works fine (you have to see a grid and t obe able to move your mouse).

If all works fine, you can copy the xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then
startx.

This will emerge a full gnome install, but I don't know about gnome install,
maybe you can take a look at [1].
