  /etc/X11/xorg.conf is present, but is a zero-length, empty file.
  /var/log/Xorg.0.log is non-existant, as is anything /X* in that
directory.

Actually, I think the problem is much deeper than X. lshw tells me that
there is no driver claiming the video hardware. That info comes from
/proc doesn't it? And is a kernel thing, right?
   I happened to find it when I wanted to take a peek at KDE4, but if the
kernel doesn't know what driver to load, and xorg can't even build its own
config, we're a long way from trying out new eye candy!
