Overdrive the ramdac.  Specify the wrong ramdac (despite what you may have
heard, it's damned near impossible to autoprobe ramdacs) -- especially
with a trio or a virge.  Misspecify the linear aperture (not really a
problem with PCI cards anymore).  Fail to sacrifice a goat to the X
Daemon.

Even xf86config is pushing the limits of acceptability.

I've never used XF86Setup (the tcl/tk config tool, yes?) as I don't like
tcl/tk.
