Thank you!  I switched it to:

             (modify-services %desktop-services
                              (slim-service-type
                               config => (slim-configuration
                                          (inherit config)
                                          (startx (xorg-start-command
                                                   #:configuration-file
                                                   (xorg-configuration-file
                                                    #:drivers '("intel")))))))

This solved it for me... xorg is back up and running again!

So I guess if you have an old x200 or so and are having this problem
(which seemingly at the moment nobody else is, so I'm closing this): do
as I did and (hopefully) that should solve it!
