I've been stumped before trying to configure X on an old sarge system.
What solved my problem when all else failed was.... to load knoppix,
then extract the needed info from knoppix's X config file. Ugly, but
effective.

I never could get X working with Sarge's drivers. I ended up keeping
Woody's X system installed.

Debian doesn't run that well on my old boxes, so I tend to use OpenBSD.
Their Xorg stuff runs just fine on video cards that don't need
closed-source drivers.
