Well here is the thing...your getting a lot of errors in there with respect
to the resolution.  I took a snipit that I think is important here.


*(II) I810(0): Monitor0: Using default hsync range of 28.00-33.00 kHz*

*(II) I810(0): Monitor0: Using default vrefresh range of 43.00-72.00 Hz*

*(II) I810(0): Not using default mode "1400x1050" (hsync out of range)*

*(--) I810(0): Virtual size is 640x480 (pitch 1024)*

*(==) I810(0): DPI set to (75, 75)*
See how the the horizontal and veritical ranges aren't so hot.  The
auto-detection can only do
so much sometimes.  I'm sure your going to have to refer to your monitor
manual and plug
in these settings manually....sometimes you can just google for them as
well.  For example
on a spare box that I have an old 14inch VGA hooked up to the settings in
the xorg.conf file
is as follows.

*    HorizSync   31,38,46.8,48*
*    VertRefresh 50-100*

Now this is an old monitor that I took from my office when they were
throwing the monitor.
It's old...and yellow and when they were throwing it away it was in
1998....my point here is
that the configuration is higher than what you currently have in your config
file...I'm guessing
that you have a monitor that is newer than the one I have configured so I'm
guessing this is
likely a major part of your problem.  X works so much better if you have the
exact configuration in there....and by doing it all by hand you'll also have
a much better understanding of how everything works and is setup.  Also copy
your /etc folder and store it somewhere. It's only going to be a few meg
uncompressed and will save you loads of time later if you have a
corruption...blowup or just a reinstall.
