I have one of those beasties on a Toshiba Satellite 400CDT.

Are you using it on the LCD panel of your laptop? Mine is awful. It can only do 640x480 on the LCD. It can do 800x600 at 16bpp on an external monitor. If I do 800x600 on the LCD, I never see the bottom of my screen. I've been running it 640x480 at 24bpp on the LCD.

I got the specs for mine via google.

I gave up on using NetBSD on it because I couldn't get PCMCIA network cards to work. One looked promising, it said it used xe0 but the little green lights never went on and I got nowhere.
