Happy to provide whatever helps.

Attached are:

Xorg.0.log - the log file created by starting XOrg without a 
.conf file (auto configured, whith works, just not with the 
right screen resolution)

xorg.conf - My latest attempt at configuring, a combination of 
xorgconfig and hand editing

Xorg.0.log.failed - the log file from the failed attempt to 
start XOrg with the above .conf file.

lspci.txt - the output from lspci -v

Thanks again for your help.
