It seem that new versions of XFree have differing requirements
in XF86config with more and more paramaeters able to be left
out.

However I notice that your config file does not have a DefaultDepth
specified.

After the Monitor line in Section "Screen" try adding:
    DefaultDepth 24
or whatever value you prefer from those available for the video card.
