This looks good. Backup the old xorg.conf (just to be sure), replace it
with this generated one, and restart X (or reboot). If X comes up, look at
the output of xrandr again. If not, look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see
what went wrong.

AFAIK, no, you don't need to do anything else, just replace xorg.conf and
restart X. Appropriate kernel modules and stuff should be loaded
automatically. If something goes wrong, a report should be in Xorg.0.log.
If there are no problems, xrandr should provide you with better resolution
options and choose the highest one by default.
Unfortunately, all I got was a black screen and a flashing caps lock :-(
The log file is far too big to attach here. I've uploaded it to
http://www.lydgate.org/images/Temp/Xorg.0.log
I'm no expert on reading these things, but it looks pretty depressing to me.
