Binary package hint: xorg

In Intrepid Beta 1, using Nvidia X Server Settings to configure the two monitors attached to an Nvidia card (7900GS) as separate X screens, Xorg fails to start on the xorg.conf generated by the tool. After that, failsafeX shows, and allow me to use X in 1024x780 (mirror mode).

Attached are the relevant files, along with the backup created by failsafeX.
Monitors :
-first monitor : Iiyama B2403WS (1920x1200)
-second monitor : Wacom Cintiq 12wx (1280x800)
