Re: Re: Linux on Thinkpad

I have Linux running on a 365xd. The biggest pain was getting X to run
with the high resolution on the LCD. At the time, I had to go back a
revision or two of XFree86 to get something that would work.

It all works now, and I can even swap screen resolutions on the fly using
the XFree key combinations. It's pretty slick even if it was a major
pain in the rear. But I still can't get it to come up in the high resolution
mode.
