These days X is clever enough to choose appropriate driver for you.
I'd suggest to build X with following video drivers: "intel radeon nv
nvidia sis via xgi vesa", since that covers 90% (or even more) of modern
built-in video adapters.
Then issue "X -configure" as root and X will produce appropriate
xorg.conf in "/root/xorg.conf.new" with all the possible parameters for
your card, so you won't have to figure them out yourself.
You can also remove all the drivers but the one chosen by X and "vesa"
(in case something breaks or you get a new card) afterwards.
