There are no resolutions defined. That is your problem.
pick a colour depth and add a resolution. On my laptop, this is what I use:

SubSection "Display"
Depth     16
Modes    "800x600"

That's for 16 bit colour at 800x600. You can pick any resolution that your
display supports. If it's an LCD, pick it's nativbe (Or Maximum) resolution.

You will also likely want to add


Section "DRI"
        Mode 0666
EndSection

to the end of your config file.
