Default Need xorg.conf for a Dell Inspiron 5150

Hi there

I need a xorg.conf to get my LCD-screen to work in Gentoo 2004.2, i
tried following EVERY guide on the net, but cant get it to work... if
it's any help i have GeForce FX Go5200 (nvidia-kernel; nvidia-glx).

I would be really happy, if someone have a example on how to setup a
xorg.xonf for my machine, by the way it's a 15,4 inches screen.

Any other information needed, just post a reply.


Many thanks ... Dennis

I had similar problems with my Compaq...
You can run one of CDLive Distros (like Knoppix) try several
configuration and after that copy config file do your hard disk.

I added mine to my Dell 5100 entry on linux-laptops.net, but I don't
know if it will help you much since this laptop uses a Radeon 7500.
I'll post the link anyway just in case you find it useful.
