Now I am tring to configure XF86Config to run Linux
on my ThinkPad 760C. But I cannot get a good screen.
Although I had visit famous Linux www sites, I cannot
find one for my machine.
If there is someone who send me working XF86Config file,
I am very happy.
As Don Russell mentioned in an earlier message, you need either 3.1.2a
or 3.1.2b for this machine. He sent a config file for 3.1.2a. Here
is some information about 3.1.2b, which requires a slightly different
config file, according to Hardy:

I have been using the new Beta distribution (a.out format) of XF86 for
about 10 hours and so far, see lots of improvements on the IBM
ThinkPad 760C (Trident Cyber 9320 chipset, 800x600 mode).
In case you have problems configuring it, here are the RELEVANT
entries from XF86Config (edited after using the xf86config configuration
program):
