Setup:
Single user machine running Debian (wheezy) 3.0.0-1-686-pae
Graphics card: Nvidia FX 5700 LE
At present X is setup without any xorg.conf. I'm able to `startx'
with no problems.
However, I wanted to use an old setting from previous OS's on this
same hardware that was set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
I thought I'd generate an xorg.conf and try to edit in my changes.
The desired addition from previous os (Gentoo linux).

Its the virtual size I'm after. Its worked on this same hardware in
the past under Gentoo linux.
But I'm not able to get this far because `Xorg -configure' fails
without generating a file.
I've included below, the output from running Xorg -configure as it was
written to Xorg.0.log
Here is just a grep for (EE) error lines:
