But I also wrote:

	Moving the option to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf didn't work either.

plus the part about xorg.conf* being ignored. Since then I filed
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85016
after which your reply arrived.

Then I eliminated xorg.conf.d/ and consolidated all into this xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
	Option	"AllowMouseOpenFail" "on"
	Option	"ZapWarning" "off"
	Option	"DontZap" "off"
	Option	"BlankTime" "120"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier	"system-keyboard"
	MatchIsKeyboard	"on"
	Option	"XkbLayout"	"us"
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
	Option	"Composite"	"Disable"
EndSection

# 50-device.conf
Section "Device"
	Identifier "Default Device"
	Driver	"Intel"
	Option	"AccelMethod"	"UXA"
EndSection

# 50-monitor.conf
Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Default Monitor"
	HorizSync	30-150
	VertRefresh	56-86
	Option	"DPMS"	"off"
	Option	"PreferredMode"	"1600x1200"
	DisplaySize	338 253 # 120 DPI @ 1600x1200
EndSection

# 50-screen.conf
Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Device	"Default Device"
	Monitor	"Default Monitor"
EndSection

This works, so now I'm confused again, but maybe
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85016 resolves it.
