XServer fails to start when using the sm750fb driver with XServer version = 1.20.9 on Ubuntu 20.04.2(kernel version = 5.13.0-28-generic)

I am hoping someone here has run into this issue with the sm750fb driver module that is used on a Silicon Motion 750 video controller. The auto configure for the XServer fails to produce a configuration that is usable by the system. Therefore, I am trying to produce a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that will work instead. My current xorg.conf attempt and the output from the XServer is shown below. FYI, I can produce a xorg.conf file that works on version 1.20.6 of the XServer using Red Hat 8.2.
Thanks In Advance for any Help.
Regards,
Joe
Here is my xorg.conf file
