[Plug] running X on a laptop

Title: running X on a laptop
<newbie alert on>
OK, I'm trying to run RH6 on my HP Omnibook 4100 laptop, and the initial install went ok, as far as I can tell. I think the X system installed ok. However, I can't seem to get to a desktop. I get to the tiny black & white boxes screen with the 'X' cursor, and that's where it stops. I can Ctrl-Alt-Bkspc and get back to a prompt. Xconfigurator found the NeoMagic128 video chip that this notebook uses, and I told it to use the LCD 1024x768 monitor (this is a 14" TFT screen that is normally used 1024x768). I have no earthly idea what any of the other monitor parameters should be, and the probe didn't seem to work at all.
How do I troubleshoot this? What have I done wrong (or forgotten to do)? Everything runs just peachy on my desktop at home, but not on the laptop.
Thanks in advance,
Humbly,
Wayne
