First, well done. You've put a lot of effort into this.
The Xorg generated configuration file didn't give you a DefaultDepth in
the Screen section, which is weird and I would suggest trying that. I
can't tell which depth Xorg chose in the end though, and I don't think
the log tells you anywhere, which is a shame. Also, you didn't have
DPMS enabled in the first configuration that worked, so maybe try
disabling that again, but I admit, I've never seen that option do
anything productive, so I may be corrected.
Good luck,
Dustin
