sorry to bring up this old thread.
i just have time to try this again.

i boot up puppy linux from usb and copy the xorg.conf from it.
puppy can display 1024x768 resolution in my hardware.
but after i copy the working xorg.conf from puppy into centos,
the centos X just wont start at all.

below attached the xorg.conf content from puppy linux for your review.

so anything i can correct to make it work on centos 5.1???

tia.
