I've got a Thinkpad 760CD with a Trident 9320 chipset and 11.4" TFT LCD.  I
found that the XFree86 server shipping with the Redhat 4.2 CD will not work
with the Thinkpad 760 CD/E/EL.  However, installing the latest 3.3.1 server
available from www.xfree86.org worked superbly.

Agreed.  Redhat was a nobrainer to install and configure.  Highly
