Your main (possibly not only) problem is that you specify VertRefresh 10 nothing will work properly with that 60 for a LCD would be OK I tried to clean you XF86Config as follows below. I looked at http://www.linux-laptop.net one of the best place for info but the links for the 1530D lead nowhere. you may also want to check the one for the 1540D: http://www.cygnet.co.uk/steve/LinuxCompaq1540.html BUT would have to remove the higher resolution from the mode lines otherwise you will get a window on a large screen remove the virtual screens everywhere if you want your peace... a possible XF86Config (without garantee...)
