After 2 days of persistent trying and no answer from
this mailing list, I actually figured out a way
myself! So I'll share it here in case someone else has
the same problem. The problem is that xorg.conf
generated by "X -configure" actually makes the
laptop's pointing device(trackball) stop working. So I
eliminate the line 

Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"

from xorg.conf, then there is no more problem with the
trackball. Then I can just add the line 

Modes "1024x768"

to xorg.conf beneath every line of Depth...

Now the screen problem is solved!

Next problem: it has no sound. It seems like no sound
card is detected at all. Any help is appreciated.
