I have been having some success with my weird borrowed laptop;
I wasn't able to get a good setup from 3.3.6, so I installed
X version 4.0.  This proved to be able to identify my hardware
much better than 3.3.6, but didn't work with some of the applications.
But using the information I learned about my chipset and monitory from
X 4.0, I got a good configuration out of 3.3.6.

I can foresee an improvement in configuring X when 4.0 gets into
the usual distributions.
