X isn't going to read that config file until it's titled xorg.conf and
located somewhere it expects it - /etc/X11 or somesuch.  If you launch X
like this : X -config /path/to/xorg.conf.new it will try that out.

You should end up with the twm window manager by default.  If you don't,
put 'twm' into your ~/.xinitrc.

(Doing this from memory, so we'll see if I have the paths/names right)
