According to your Xorg.0.log the server isn't using a configuration
file at all but rather some built-in default, which is NetBSD-centric
and assumes Sun Creator (3D) or Elite 3D cards along with wsfb:
27. (==) Using default built-in configuration (21 lines)
<...>

What I'm missing in your Xorg.0.log is something like:
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Thu Dec 16 10:09:47 2010
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
(==) ServerLayout "X.org Configured"
<...>

Yours instead just skips over that part:
15. (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Mon Jul 19 18:51:03 2010
16. (II) Loader magic: 0x3b5fc0

Here the X server behaves the same if no /etc/X11/xorg.conf is present
so it looks like you'd either need to move your xorg.conf.new to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf or start it via `X -config /path/to/xorg.conf.new`
so the desired configuration is used at all.
Note that for Rage XL you most likely also need to set reference_clock
accordingly in xorg.conf.
