My IBM Thinkpad T30 also has the beast inside. I kind of made it working once, but after a while it stuck and I have to reboot the machine. A couple of re-menuconfig my kernel, I got lost, and has not gain any success ever again.
I've use X 4.3 from experimental, and 2.6 kernel. Once tried also in 2.4 with DRI patches. I got console works with radeon framebuffer, X work but no DRI. :-( Anyone care to post kernel .config and X's XF86Config here? I suspect at my laptop, it's an hardware bug, WinXP has the same problem with graphic acceleration, too, it work for a minute or two and suddenly a nice BSOD pop out and reboot the machine. I have to disable acceleration/radeon driver at XP, and use VESA. My god, VESA in WinXP is sooooo slowwww... and you can not even play movie with it. Another part where Linux excels....
