[ltp] Thinkpad 760XL - XFree86 4.1.0 - video issues

[Micah DS]

I have good news =)
I took out the Modes line in the SubSection "Display" and now I can use and 
depth - the bad is that everything is still garbled =(
I even Modified the Videoram down to 512

Can I see your Config File?
btw... They have an updated trident_drv.o, but it requires XFree86 4.2.0
(I want to know if I can get this working with 4.1.0)

Thanks,
Adam Southerland
