Thank you very much.
I had to delete the display section and restart X
Generally speaking, the Xorg developers recommend working without
an /etc/X11/xorg.conf at all (assuming your distribution package
a recent Xorg version + drivers).
That only works if you have a relatively new graphics card and a
relatively new LCD monitor. Or if you want the default settings for
various options. If you want to change the defaults, or you have a CRT
(especially and old one) you need a conf file.
A really bad combination is a relatively modern display card such as
an NVIDIA or ATI with 128m of RAM or more and and an old CRT.
I don't know if it is an UBUNTU thing or the real default, but control-
alt-plus and control-alt-minus (switch resolution) and control-alt-
backspace (kill X) are disabled. So you can't keep switching until
you get one that works and then set it permanently, or keep killing X
until you get a text screen.
