As is usual in these cases, AltaVista is your friend.
The following is pretty much the canonical source for information on
installing Linux on any laptop.
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/
In your case, there is a page on the 320CDT, see:
http://branimir.homepage.com/320cdt.htm
This page does exist, and seemd to includes a sample XF86Config file.

Craig Southeren
