I've had x windows running on a TP 240 since last Feb. I know of one
person who did it even earlier.

I installed SuSE 6.2 or 6.3 out of the box and it pretty much
configured itself. I'm also running KDE, I haven't really tried GNOME yet.

  i just got a tp 240x and can't get x windows (xfree 3.3.6)  running on
  it.   the video chipset has changed from tp 240 and is now SMI: LynxEM+,
  whose support in the svga server is rumored to be buggy.  the server
  simply dies after flashing shortly the gray screen.
  
  if someone has managed to get x windows running on tp 240x, it would be
  nice to hear about it.  if not, then i would avoid that model for linux
  use until the problems have been fixed.  i have tried both accel on and
  off as well as hardware curson on and off.
