I recently install Slackware 9.1 on a Dell Inspiron 1100 and didn't have
any problems with the screen. I used the 'xfree86setup' command to
create the /etc/X11/XF86Config file. The section that stands out is
"Screen". Normally the resolution is specified. In the config that I'm
using, it's not. Not sure if that is the key, but it is something that
you can try.
