I had the same problem with my compaq 1700T.
Try the "XFree86 -configure" command. This will generate you 
an XFree configuration file with the exact Video Card
Configuration, even with DRI(I think), the move this file
to the /etc/X11/ and edit it to add the extra features you
want. Depth, Resolution, etc.
Any other problem in you laptop, don't hesitate and mail me,
I'll be glad to help.
