    Xorg.conf breaks GUI

    After upgrading Ubuntu 10.04 to 11.10 I had a problem my display was not reconized.Then tried to instal the Nvidia proprietry driver, but it failed.
    After a lot of try and error ( to much to tell ), removed all nvidia* and reinstalled Nouveau.
    But still having problems.

    When I create an xorg.conf, there are a lot of warnings about drivers missing,
    (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
    (==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"

    (EE) [drm] failed to open device

    As soon I delete/move away the xorg.conf, I get the 1024/768 display back, which is too small and should be 1280/1024.

    I read a lot about xrandr and cvt, but can't get it to work.

    This is the xorg.conf that I use, but breaks the GUI.

    It is an edited previously automatic generated xorg.conf.
    I am even not shure if it is used or just interferes with somthing else.

    Please , can someone point me to a solution.
