Another way of maybe accomplishing the same thing, would be to take the
laptop to Linux Cafe and try a few different live distros. When I was
searching for a distro that would work well on my Acer Aspire, I found
marked differences in the way that X dealt with the various drivers. eg 
Ubuntu 6.06 would not deliver the proper resolution (not even close),
but Mepis 6 ( a Ubuntu clone) was spot on.
