I have a 560E was recently checking out various dists. I was able to get X working on a Redhat 9 system, if I used "vesa" instead of "trident" for the driver.
I've reverted to Redhat 7.1, and have X running at 800x600 16bpp, on the TFT display. I can post my config file if your machine is similar, and you want to try it.

I've tried sending this to the list with both the log and config file attached, but it hasn't made it yet. So I'm trying again with only the log file. (no bounce or anything either) Config file available by request. :)
I, like several other people are having a problem with xfree86 on an IBM ThinkPad 560e.
I've had it working with and old version of xfree86 (3.x) so I know it has worked in the past. But due to a hard drive failure, I decided to update. I've tried it with 4.3.1 with updated files from Alan's site, but I didn't get that to work.
So due to other reasons, I decided to rebuild the machine again. So I installed: 1. Debian stable (fairly minimal + C dev for now + custom 2.4.21 kernel) 2. xfree86 from cvs It's still not working: Either: 1. Black screen with flickering horizonal line in the middle and top of the screen 2. Vertical multi-colored lines (with flickering horiz line) 3. Vertical white lines (with flickering horiz line)
I know in the past I've also tried an external monitor and I couldn't seem to get it to work either.
Attached are a log file and my config file: based on xfree86 -configure +noaccel +few changes (copied out of someone elses config) to try to use 800x600 rather than 640x480
I've several people saying there having problems and a resolved issue in the bugzilla so if anyone has gotten this to work please let me know.
Thanks for any help you can give me and feel free to ask if you either need more info or if you want to to check something.
