I had a look at the spec for your laptop and it seems to be running a 
"Embedded Castle Rock GFX in CLE266" .. I don't know if linux supports 
that chipset (you didn't mention what driver you were using) but others 
seem to have had *some* success using a standard VESA driver..

Might be worth a shot.. am just speculating..
