Yeah, I thought so too. The config I posted I had grabbed of the net
from someone's website claiming to have the same hardware as me. I
knew I was asking for trouble :)

Okay, I tried this, actually, it was xf86cfg, which calls XFree86 -configure.
It still doesn't work, however the config file is vastly simpler and
easier to read. So this should be easier to debug!

Xconfigurator is the RedHat tool. Works great on RH, but this system
is Debian. I tried installing it by converting it from an rpm to a
.deb, but it seems there are too many hardcoded paths within the tool
itself to work without a major porting effort.

See latest attached XF86Config below :)
