I've got a ThinkPad 760EL (800x600). XF86's startup messages make
the following claims about my video hardware:
(--) SVGA: PCI: Trident TGUI 9660/9680/9682 rev 211, Memory @ 0x08000000, 0x08400000
(--) Trident chipset version: 0xd3 (TGUI96xx)
(--) SVGA: BIOS reports Clock Control Bits 0x0
(--) SVGA: Detected a Trident 9385.
(--) SVGA: Detected an TFT 800x600 Display
(--) SVGA: Revision 51.
I'm using an XF86 3.3.1 server. ("if it works, why mess with it?")
My XF86Config is below. Good luck. (I had a ... pretty hard time
finding a good set of configuration data. I hope you have it a bit
easier!)

(Not speaking for Digital. Just for the record: I bought my
ThinkPad before I came to work for Digital, and have almost no
experience with Digital laptops so can't compare it to them. 8-)
