You're jumping to conclusions that it's the configurator.

Turns out I wasn't. None of the configuration programs got me anywhere close. They either got the monitor wrong, the card wrong, the screen wrong, or a combination.


I ended up cobbling it together from some advice for Linux, some other snippets and so on. In case anyone cares, the relevant hard parts of the XF86Config for (my/the) Inspiron 3500 are:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        HorizSync    31.5-48.5
        VertRefresh  60
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "neomagic"
        VendorName  "Neomagic"
        BoardName   "NM2200"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     16
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     16
                Modes    "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection
