I had basically the same problem on a Gateway MX3210 laptop I was
setting up for a friend. The screen resolution was way too big
(1600x1400 or something just as absurd) and the sreen was locked in the
upper left corner so I couldn't get to the bottom or the right part of
the screen. The xorg.conf file in the initial post fixed it for me.
