my laptop here, HP Pavillion DV9620US.  In the process of trying to fix it,
I mistakenly ran the xorg fix from the recovery session and it basically
wiped my xorg.conf file.  I THOUGHT I had a backup copy of the working file,
but upon inspection, turns out I don't.

figure out where to put what.  This one doesn't look anything like my
desktop.  Max resolution on this laptop is 1440x900, not sure about the
refresh rate.  The video card is an nVidia GeForce Go 7150M (UMA) and the
screen is a 17" WXGA+ High-Definition BrightView Widescreen.
