It was configuration parameters you were supposed to look for, not
someone having a similar problem. :-)

Here's one problem:

(WW) R128(0): Monitor0: Using default hsync range of 28.00-33.00kHz
(WW) R128(0): Monitor0: using default vrefresh range of 43.00-72.00Hz

XFree86 is using standard values for your display, which don't work,
evidently, out of the box.  Add the HorizSync and VertRefresh rates 
for your display. The laptop link at the top of this message should 
prove helpful determining what these values are for your display.
