You could name it whatever you want, but you should symlink xorg.conf back to it, because your X can't find your configuration file otherwise:
Code:
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file

Try renaming it xorg.conf and see if it works. Or you could symlink, but I don't really see why you're going to have multiple xorg.conf files based around the video card unless you switch out your video cards often enough to warrant it.

Try commenting out the following line in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Code:
FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"

I honestly don't even have any FontPath variables set in my xorg.conf, but I've never really had a problem without it *shrug*.
