Tribes3 dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does not add EndSubSection after color depth

Bug Description

If running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and one reconfigures and writes a new xorg.conf file, a "no screens found" error will occur. It refers to how "SubSection" is not a valid keyword.

To resolve the issue, EndSubSection is missing after each "depth" line. Once added to each SubSection, startx will continue.

This was found in tribes3 Kubuntu.
