Thats strange. Its almost similar to my xorg.conf and i am so much problem!
except a bit of difference here and there, but unimportant i think. Like in
Device section instead of
Boardname "SiS Real256E"
mine is
Boardname "sis"
But that shoudl not make any difference.
Prateek could u please send full details of your hardware? May be your system
has larger RAM?

nanbudh
ps: people are suggesting i simply go and buy an nvidia card. I shall have to
buy one eventually (i know) but i would have never heard of and would have
never tinkered with xorg.conf had it not been the desire to unravel this
mystery. I am learning quite a bit. Its wonderful actually.
