you should not use a xorg.conf as actual kernel directly deals with X.

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

i've got nothing for your error, but as i read in another thread, the upgrades tend to be messy and not install correctly. On the other hand a whole fresh install goes flawless, so you should backup your data and copy it back...just a suggestion should you not be able to resolve your problem
