Post X11 and WSXGA problem on inspiron 6000


Hi.


Just like a month ago I bought a new dell laptop, recently I tried to install slackware and it worked .. partially, I can't see kde or any desktop. When I type startx the screen starts flashing and fading colors, I tried with kanoppix live cd, Suse live dvd and slax live cd and it's the same, seems like x11 can't support WSXGA screen... I already tried to set the "correct" display with xorg.conf file but it's useless, I had tried a lot of stuff but nothing ... still can only see the light flashing and that's all ..

Any idea or help

Thanks

System.
Dell I6000
Processor: Centrino 1.6Ghz
Graphics card: Intel 915GM
LCD: samsung LCD WSXGA (1680 x 1050)
RAM: 1Gb
