[To recap:  the motherboard on my TP560C went south and I sent it back to
IBM for service.  When it came back, they had replaced the motherboard and
upgraded the BIOS to whatever-the-current-standard-is.  X didn't work when
I got it back.]

Poul-Henning wins the Kewpie Doll.  I went hunting around my other systems
and came up with a 3.3.1 XF86_SVGA binary, and a new XF86Config file from
the Japanese laptop site someone mentioned earlier.  (Sorry I don't have
this information available...my life is in total disarray right now.)
Anyway, replacing the binary did the trick.  Using the curent XF86_SVGA
just doesn't work with *any* XF86Config file I could muster.  The older
SVGA works with one set up for a TP560E, though.  

This sucks.  I think a well-placed email needs to go to someone on the
XFree86 project and see if we can get this ironed out so It Just Works.


Thanks for the help everybody,


Brian
