    Ah!, same problem two failed Debian X installs had (Debian ran OK, not X). 
My solution was to boot an Insert Linux live CD on that same hardware and use 
the XF86Config-4 file Insert was running on. I mounted /dev/hda1 (using the 
EmelFM file manager) and copied the file over to /home/usrname. Then reboot 
(without the live CD) and as root I copied the XF86Config-4 to /etc/X11.
    The only change I then had to make was to change the:
Option "Protocol" from "PS/2" to "IMPS/2" - for my wheel mouse.
    A later "diff" on the two files showed that the original did not have the 
section on the monitor timings.
