Be very carefull. I killed the first display of my laptop exactly that

No reply from the vendor too, so still no X.
SVGAText package has a utility in the source package to read the
graphic chip registers under DOS. I don't know whether this works under
Win.
Try the linux-laptop http: site. They have a long list of laptops and
evtly. an X setup for that model.
