Laptops :: Graphic mode is not working on IBM ThinkPad 760XD

Hello rgoble,

I am happy, that I am not alone. Perhaps together, we will find a solution. But I am a Linux beginner.

I understand that we have to downgrade X to XFree86 3.3.6. How is this possible?

Thats the part i'm working on figuring out now. Supposdly somebody has already made a DSL extension with the XFree86 3.3.6 version but I haven't been able to find it yet. If nothing else I may try and figure out how to do it myself. Hopefully that does not require me to build X, because that would not be fun on a 166mhz system.
