My experience is that Etch (and also Lenny, last I tried it) always
creates a bad xorg.conf, and that X usually does well without an
xorg.conf. So you could just try

cd /etc/X11 && mv xorg.conf xorg.conf-etch

and then try starting X. For a simple try:

X

gives you just basic X with a mouse cursor, end that with
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.

If that works, it's probably simples to reboot (or you can play around
with /etc/init.d/xserver-xorg etc.
