   You have to use the SVGA server or the framebuffer server right now.  The
Rage Mobility support in the latest XFree86 (3.3.6) or even in 4.0 devel
snapshots does not work with the thinkpads for some reason.  I've been trying
to work with the X Server developer but it's very slow.  He emails me
essentially 1 month after I email him... I've tried to patch it but nothing
has worked so far.  I get a striped display on my i1460.
