Dear Declan,

Yes, I have X up on my ThinkPad.
Here is a one-line spec: TP 770Z PII 366 128M 14.1G 14.1T 1024x768 4M.
This has been discussed quite often already on this mailing list.
The most expert person is probably Bill Mair (who happens to run the
mailing list - bill.mair@mail.bm-soft.com,
http://www.bm-soft.com/~bm/tp770x.html).
I use his patched XF86_SVGA with support for TrueType fonts built-in.
The /etc/X11/XF86Config I use is attached below.

Regards,
