Actually I never looked at it's logs, I could not go on with the 
installation (just blank screen with all the text concetrated to a 
single line of pixels at the top of the screen), so I chose vesafb and 
it worked the firts time.

I used video=vesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap,1024x768-32@60 in GRUB

with vesafb I have:

  vga=0x318 video=vesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap

and it works.

> BTW: have you tried radeonfb?

No, as I expplained in another reply, I was not aware that the X60 had a 
radeon family of cards. All the data I have (even in lspci) claims it is 
a Inte 945GM Express graphics adaptor.
