I am running stock 3.0-current and XFree86 3.3.1 on a ThinkPad 380E with absolutely no trouble. If you need an XF86Config for the NeoMagic chipset which IBM is using in the newer ThinkPads, contact me and I'll send you a copy of mine. The chipset is not supported (at least not in 3.3.1), but the VGA16 server works fine at 800x600x16, and on a development machine I don't really need colors. -- Noone else has a .sig like this one.
