I see lots of stuff in there that probably no longer belongs in modern X
config file.

Try making a backup of the xorg.conf file, then simply empty it.  Or use
the grub menu to start recovery mode, and from the menu, choose the
option to fix X.  Then when the system restarts, you can use the Ubuntu
hardware manager to enable the Nvidia driver.  Hopefully htat will fix
your woes.
