Latest xorg-server code should detect geode automatically without a
xorg.conf. Apparently your xorg-server doesn't yet.

The following is a minimal xorg.conf adapted from what Xorg uses on its
own in the lack of one when geode autodetection works (you can see it in
Xorg.0.log when launching without xorg.conf), with the fbdev/vesa/vga
fallback bits removed. This should work with xorg-server-1.5.x or newer
(perhaps also older) to get everything besides driver choice configured
by X itself:

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Builtin Default geode Device 0"
	Driver	"geode"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Builtin Default geode Screen 0"
	Device	"Builtin Default geode Device 0"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier	"Builtin Default Layout"
	Screen	"Builtin Default geode Screen 0"
EndSection
