Eh, it can't find your mouse. You might want to make sure that
everything referring to your mouse is OK (and maybe change things back
to the way they were, at least for your mouse stuff). I don't see the
mouse device listed; you might try that first and foremost. If you have
a mouse wheel, add "Option" "ZAxisMapping "4 5" in your mouse section, too.

As well, you spelled "Xinerama" wrong, and I think you need "Option"
"Xinerama" "True". At least, I do.
