I have a similar laptop : the 711EA, and I don't think the graphic chip (ProSavage Via KN133) can work with XFree 3.3.6 (except maybe in VESA mode). I would strongly recommend that you install XFree 4.1 (packages xserver-common and xserver-xfree86 in stable) and the configuration with debconf is really easy when you know that you have to choose the savage driver (not s3).
