Well, it doesn't work on my T60p, for lack of PCI ID if nothing else.
Test build:
http://people.redhat.com/ajackson/avivo/
Requires libpciaccess, which thus far is only in rawhide, but should be
in F-7 updates in the next push. Eats babies, etc.
Once we actually have this working on at least one piece of kit out of
the box I'll get it imported.
I was sort of able to get it to run on my X1300 Mobility. I did need to patch
the PCI ID in before I could get anything. (The PCI device ID is 0x7149.)
In native resolution of 1680x1050, it just blanks the screen, and you have
to reboot. If I uncomment the following ModeLine, then it comes up looking
like a television whose horizontal is screwy:
ModeLine "1680x1050" 119.2 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1052 1058 1080
I consider that an improvement over a blank screen that accepts no input since
I can at least see the mouse move with this mode line. I'm guessing there are
mode line problems. (I foudn this mode line a while back while trying to
find a way to get my Dell E1505 to display in full native resolution. Alas,
that could never happen using VESA. :-( ) If I try to force it into 1400x1050,
then I just get a blank screen as well.
I can provide an X server log if needed.
