I'm by far no expert on hardware issues inside the PC, but what I would do if I was in your shoes.....

1. We know that your BT2 install worked right?? So why not just use your copy of your xorg.conf located in etc/X11/xorg.conf on BT2...and transfer it over to BT3. You can get a command line in bt3 right??? use the command....

cp /hdc1/xorg.conf /etc/X11/

where hdc1 is my dvd/cd player that has my copy of xorg.conf on it.

What this command will do is copy your xorg.conf from your dvd burner hdc1 (where your BT2 copy of xorg.conf is) and overwrite your BT3 xorg.conf located in /etc/X11/




Heres a <snippet> from google
< Copying >

To copy files, you use the cp command. The following will copy file to file2. Note that if file2 doesn't exist, it'll be created, but if it exists, it'll be overwritten:
$ cp file file2
There aren't any undo commands in the Linux CLI, so accidentally overwriting an important file would probably make you pull your head off. The risk of doing so is smaller if you use the -i option ("interactive") with cp. The following does the same as the above, but if file2 exists, you'll be prompted before overwriting:
$ cp -i file file2
cp: overwrite `file2'? n
$
So it's a good idea to use the -i option whenever you're dealing with important files you don't want to lose!
If you want to copy file into directory dir1:
$ cp file dir1
The following would do the same as the above, copy file into dir1, but under a different name:
$ cp file dir1/file2
You can also copy multiple files into one directory with a singlecommand:
$ cp file1 file2 file3 dir1
Note that if the last argument isn't a directory name, you'll get an error message complaining about it.









I don't know if this will work for you,...but its a good shot at least. I hope this helps you until someone else knows the "real solution" to your problem.
