It looks like there's a more up-to-date xorg version that I should just try to get, so I'll follow that route for now.
Bruce:What I'm planing to do is to resinstall the smallest version of SuSE Linux that I can, in dual-boot mode (I hope that won't clobber anything in the Fedora install, aside from borrowing some disk space), and then to see what its xorg.conf looks like. <snip>
Rather than going through all of the hassle of installing and then uninstalling SuSE, it would be a lot less work if you used a live-CD distro; Knoppix is especially good at identifying and configuring hardware.

(BTW - you're not from Baltimore, are you? The only other "Carroll" I know is named for the old Baltimore family of the same spelling. Just curious.)
