Try to just eliminate "Files" section altogether. You then get in 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log something like this:

    (==) No FontPath specified.  Using compiled-in default.
    (==) FontPath set to:
            catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d,
            built-ins

Pete, xfs is not manadatory anymore and it is not installed per 
default since somewhere in F9. All configuration files for 
individual font packages should go to /etc/X11/fontpath.d. If you 
eliminate "Files" section, stop xfs, restart Xorg, and something 
doesn't work, THEN file a bug about it. Or if you have xfs 
running and set up like above (I don't think you should have the 
first line in xorg.conf, it should go to /etc/X11/fs/config 
instead) then it should work as wel, of course -- we don't ban 
xfs, just don't use it per default anymore.

Best,
