Assuming you run udev or eudev and dbus, recommend you delete or rename
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and allow the xorg server provided script to run and
do the configuration for you.
If xorg still fails, recommend you run
awk
'/CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO/,/CONFIG_SOUND/' /usr/src/linux/.config 
and
provide the result here or in a pastebin.
