Fw: [ltp] Xi Graphics needs a Thinkpad R30

[Philippe Corboz]

Slightly off-topic: I have been using Xigraphic's driver on a Toshiba Tecra
8100, and got similar results switching back to terminal mode: visually
pleasing stripes in various colours, but useless as a terminal. The
framebuffer worked flawlessly on the Tecra, though. If anybody knows the
cure for the stwiching back blues, I would be much obliged to hear about it.
I suspect it would be the same (tp or Tecra), regardless of the hardware
behind it.

For the record: besides the Tecra, I am currently on my third tp (an X21),
no XiGraphics there.

Regards,
Philippe
