Debian 2.2r4 ships with a relatively old version of Xfree86; like 3.3.6
or something. Are you sure that this version of X supports the video
display adaptor in your laptop? You could check out the 4.1 release
notes at www.xfree86.org for both 3.3.6 and 4.1. If you decide that the
current X server is not supporting that video card, you could upgrade to
testing and get X4.1.
When you navigate to www.xfree86.org, each version of X has supported
cards included in release notes so you can read what version of X
supports what video cards.
