X isn't going to read that config file until it's titled xorg.conf and located somewhere it expects it - /etc/X11 or somesuch. If you launch X like this : X -config /path/to/xorg.conf.new it will try that out. You should end up with the twm window manager by default. If you don't, put 'twm' into your ~/.xinitrc. (Doing this from memory, so we'll see if I have the paths/names right)
