Hello, I have an IBM Thinkpad 560 (not C, E, or Z) that has a dual-scan screen, and even it can do 800x600 with 256 colors. With an external monitor, the machine is capable of a little more, but under Linux, I never achieved 800x600 with 16M colors on a monitor.
I run XFree 3.something, and my machine has the Trident 9382/9385 chipset. I never tried XFree 4, but if you are still having problems, and want to run Linux on this (great) machine at 800x600 I may be able to help a little. I believe the -20U model is more capable than mine, the -U10. It really is a great, portable, and somewhat inexpensive Linux machine! If I find a better 560 model cheap enough on Ebay, I'm going to grab another.
