I have attached my xorg.conf. It allows normal login and usage of the gnome desktop except that hardware acceleration is disabled. That produces very slow screen redraws, unnecessary CPU utilization, and compiz won't run (among other things). It's a bad workaround, but it functions until this can be fixed.
