Try the vesa framebuffer support (disable the vga16) in the kernel and 
add a correct setting to the lilo.conf. After that you can use the
XF86_FBDev X server. Thats the savest setup (but slower than others).
Even with a different X server the framebuffer is a big surplus for a
laptop.

May the Source be with you.
