Heres three suggestions:

  1) For most distros, you need to edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file.
     Its good to first make a copy of the original file and then 
     try tweaking it.  You can often get excellent config info from 
     the pages at:  http://www.linux-laptop.net/  Just find your 
     laptop model in their listings.

  2) You might be having problems with your graphical login manager. 
     You could edit your /etc/inittab file so that you have an old-
     style text login:

       id:3:initdefault:

     and then run "startx" after you log on.

  3) You could bring the laptop to one of the weekly Hacking Society 
     meetings (http://www.hackingsociety.org/).  If you show up for 
     the Golden meeting on wednesday, I'll do what I can to help you 
     get it working.

good luck,
Ed
