With a modern X, you should be able to leave the xorg.conf basically empty. Is there a reason why you populated it?
Additionally, while I'm certainly no X expert, the Option "Enable" "true" lines seem suspect. Why do you need to turn on a monitor that's not connected? Also note that for LVDS1, the "Primary" option is ignored (line 432) and "Enable" is superfluous anyway. You can configure multi-monitor stuff with xrandr nowadays. Feel free to drop me your Skype, Jabber, or icq ID if you need additional clarification (Disclaimer: I'm not an X developer, just a user and administrator). This mailing list is fine too though.
