perhaps.  Unforunately, I don't have the hardware to test.  your best
bet if xorg 6.8.0/cvs doesn't work is to open a bug on
http://bugs.freedesktop.org .  lots of people seem to be having
problems with dvi and thinkpads.  Ati has several developers that
regularly work on the radeon drivers.  ati's last code drop I think
had proper lvds/tmds support, but didn't apply cleanly to cvs.  It'll
probably get added eventually.   I'm not sure how much time i'll have
to look into it.
