When the screen comes up out of sync, swith to a VT screen (e.g. CTRL-ALT-F2). Then turn the screen off again (Fn-F3). Wake it up in text mode and it will sync. Switch back to the X screen (CTRL-ALT-F9). Viola! 1440x1050 in sync. No pretty and I hope to eventually have something better, but my new T30 is outside my reach until sometime next week. Our Windows folks are installing XP on it. :-( But, unless I can get Visio to work on the system with Cross-Over, I'm stuck with a dual boot system. FWIW, the configuration generated by "x -configure" seems to work pretty well. I did tweak it a bit for DRI support (which seems to work well) and DefaultColorDepth. I did not have to add the "HorizSync" or "VertRefresh" lines. I also discovered that, if I don't turn off the touchpad in BIOS, the track-point middle button does not work! Two button mouse! Yuck! R.
