I am fowarding this to one of the generic Linux Thinkpad lists. Maybe
someone from IBM would know what is happening with the video hardware
on the newer TP 240s. The IBM web site is not very clear about the
differences in specs.

  i just got tp240 and tried to get X11 working on it.  i took the config
  file from the web that everyone seems to be using on their tp240, but
  looks like tp240x is not using the same video hardware than tp240.
  
  therfore, i let the svga server to probe for the hardware and use what
  it likes to use.  it doesn't complain anything, but after short while
  after starting startx and flashing the screen, the server simply dies
  without saying why. 
  
  has anyone got X11 working on tp240x?  the output from x11 is below.
  any ideas why it dies?
