[Xorg][Intel GMA 950] Hotplug but Source xorg.conf as Well [SOLVED]

I've been having trouble getting xorg to honour the config file while still having hotplugging enabled. A number of kind souls have told me that I could keep out the input sections and xorg would use the rest, but it doesn't.

Such are my requirements:

(1) I want to have Hotplugging
(2) I want to configure hotplugged devices via their respective FDI files
(3) I want to disable compositing (so I need xorg.conf)
(4) I want to change graphics device options (so I need xorg.conf)

I understand that the laptop's monitor is also considered a hotpluggable device, so I've omitted related entries. The following is what I have:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    Option         "AIGLX" "false"
EndSection

Section "Files"
    RgbPath      "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
    ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
    FontPath     "/usr/local/share/fonts"
EndSection

Section "Module"
        Load  "bitmap"
        Load  "ddc"
        Load  "int10"
        Load  "vbe"
    Load  "xtrap"
    Load  "record"
    Load  "dbe"
    Load  "extmod"
    Load  "freetype"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "intel"
    VendorName  "Intel Corporation"
    BoardName   "Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller"
    BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
    Option "AccelMethod" "xaa"
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
        Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

If you have a similar use-case then please offer your xorg.conf for me to steal, thanks!
