[ltp] Is 800x600 possible on 365X (2625-2E9) DSTN?

[Chris Lamothe]

I used Peanut Linux 8.1 and it worked great...besides that little affair
with the two orange lines and having to press Fn F7 but you get used to
that.

I've spent more time than I'd like trying to get ANY Linux
distribution going in a Thinkpad 365X (with 11.3" DSTN display).
In general I can get 640x480 at 256 colors to work to some
extent, but that's not very satisfactory because some of the
applications don't set up scroll bars (and I haven't yet found
a scrolling-desktop window manager), and in any event when
exiting "X" the character-mode display is mangled (it looks like
downloaded font tables get overwritten; no fix possible that I've
seen yet.) Any 800x600 option results in the display having two
bright yellow lines across it but nothing otherwise visible...

TIA,
