...ok, on my laptop now...  Here's my xorg.conf --you should have many sections, not just "Files"
Also, yours will be different if your hardware is different of course.  This one has been screwed with
way too many times.

This /etc/X11/xorg.conf works well enough with ATI's poorly documented drivers and ATI's poorly
performing hardware.  (If you're getting the impression that I regret having bought ATI and will
not be making that mistake again soon ...you'd be right.)
