It's been a year or so last time I tried, so I only remember
vaguely. It worked with the gatos drivers, but the caveat was that the
video out needed to be plugged in and (I think) the receiving TV box
needed to be switched on while booting the thinkpad.

That was on an A20p with ATI Rage Mobility 128.
