My Ultra 60 has a Creator 3D card, too . X worked out of the box here, I did
not need to provide an xorg.conf (Wheezy and Jessie).
Xdm is in use, too - no problems. Neither local monitor nor XDMCP.
The xorg.conf file I include is taken from an Ultra 2 / Creator 3D running
Debian Lenny. Forget the resolution settings, this is an old entry.
Resolution is hard wired in the 13W3 -> VGA adapter (1280 x 1024).
I could send a /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the Ultra 60 if you want.

Hartwig
