XF86 config with generic chipset

Hi

I'm trying to get X11 working on my very old Leading Edge 386SL
notebook. I've attached my startx.log file, along with the XF86Config
which gets generated, however, I removed all the modelines which get
deleted when X starts.

Can anyone point me in the right direction - or even know where the
superprobe program is which is mentioned in the Tips via help.

Thanks
