I have XFree 4.0 running on a thinkpad 600 and it's running ok.
I *think* it's a bit faster. The xset +dpms doesn't switch off the screen
anymore, so I use xautolock with 'apm -d 0' for this now.
the XF86Config has to be edited. I think I used xf86config again.
I can't start xdm from rc.local anymore because the keyboard would be
dead. So I startx manually now.
That's what X finds out about the video chip:
(--) PCI:*(0:3:0) Neomagic NM2160 rev 1, Mem @ 0xe0000000/24,
0x20000000/21, 0x20200000/20
(II) NEOMAGIC(0): Chipset is a MagicGraph 128XD (NM2160)
(--) NEOMAGIC(0): Panel is a 1024x768 color TFT display
(--) NEOMAGIC(0): VideoRAM: 2048 kByte
(**) NEOMAGIC(0): Default mode "1024x768": 65.0 MHz, 48.4 kHz, 60.0 Hz
