eee 901 xorg hosed by xfce4?

Hey guys,

I've been happily rolling along installing arch and icewm on my eee 901.  Yesterday I installed xfce4, rebooted, and x can't connect to server.  can someone please post a working xorg.conf for me, and maybe provide some insight?  I've been poking around at this for better than half a day now with no luck.

hwd -xa provides an xorg.conf that does bring up x, sort of, with vesa drivers, but no keboard or mouse, but at any rate I'd appreciate one that works as of today.  Running without an xorg.conf doesn't work either. 

thanks.

I have just installed Arch on my Eeepc 901 (running stock kernel, 2.6.29) and it works fine running XFCE. My xorg.conf is here:
