Part of this was by going around and doing VERY general google searches
about my laptop and linux/X. The other part of it was going and getting
another dist to generate an xorg.conf that worked (somewhat), copying
that onto a flash drive or to dropbox or something.
Here's what I think /your/ xorg.conf file is going to look like:
---8<--- xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "SiS Graphics Adapter"
Driver "sis"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "SiS Graphics Adapter"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x768" "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
EndSection
----8<----
Its worth a shot.
