Interesting.  XFree86 is pretty smart about laptops now, just as long as
you don't over-spec your display's horizontal and vertical sync rates.
Treat it as a 800x600 display (or whatever size it is).  I just set up a
Dell LX the other day and had to remind myself of this while I looked at
a scrambled display.  

You might try using xf86config and select your chip type out of the card
database.
