My usual approaches in such cases:
1. (as proposed by another poster) try KNOPPIX
2. even more often, I resort to
su
cd /root/
XFree86 -configure
and then follow the last line of that screen output
(XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new)
I'm writing this as far as my memory is correct; so no guarantees !
Usually, this never brings the final config, but serves as starting point:
Does it recognize the hardware ?
And then the XFConfig can be tuned ...
