What if you tried removing all the old cruft from your xorg.conf and
test the fancy new autodetection?  Make a backup of your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file and run the command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

(That should make it's own backup before changing anything, but why
trust automation when you can do it yourself.)
