None of the configuration programs got me anywhere close. They either got the monitor wrong, the card wrong, the screen wrong, or a combination. I ended up cobbling it together from some advice for Linux, some other snippets and so on. In case anyone cares, the relevant hard parts of the XF86Config for (my/the) Inspiron 3500 are: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" HorizSync 31.5-48.5 VertRefresh 60 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "neomagic" VendorName "Neomagic" BoardName "NM2200" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection
