A strategy I have found useful, if this helps, has been to fire up a Knoppix CD, let it autodetect and autoconfigure itself, and then save its /etc (and whatever else) to your hard drive. Then, if you are having trouble configuring something (e.g. XF86Config|xorg.conf), you can borrow the Knoppix version. For example, I could never get the tools available on my previous SuSE installation to configure my rather ancient laser printer. However Knoppix had no trouble doing so and I have been using the .ppd that Knoppix created ever since, including in my current Gentoo installation.
