I have a Thinkpad T60 with what I think is an ATI X1300.  IIRC I used X
-configure and then the VESA driver and it is almost completely ok.  The
only problem is that switching back to text consoles leaves the fonts
doubled; I think two things are confused about the state of 'expansion'
and are both doing it.  There is also a Linux ATI binary driver that
