Hi Greg and all:
Laptop: Thinkpad iSeries 1300 Video: Silicon Motion LynxEM+ chip Screen: 800x600 hpa
system: FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE
Only the vga driver works, and not very well. Gives me only a 640x480 display and the windows etc are not displayed properly (too large for the display). This setup was configured using either xf86config or xf86cfg -textmode. Using the "autodetect" selection froze the display, as does trying to setup manually using the above and the silicon motion driver. Killing X server doesnt work, have to reboot the machine.
This notebook works fine with suse 8.1, Red Hat 9, Knoppix 3.1, etc.
I did notice the XF86Config file is the old XFree 3.x series format, apparently not the newer series 4.x format. (dont know if that is significant).

Start here, but give some details. If this is a Dell Inspiron 5100, I'm working on it.
