SuSE 9.2 Professional with xorg-x11-6.8.1 is working OK here on a system
with on-board SiS 660 chipset.  I haven't tried it on anything yet with a

I'll see your ``old'' T20 and raise you a ThinkPad 600.  I just installed
SuSE 9.2 Professional on the ThinkPad a couple of days ago, and it seems to
be working fine (although it doesn't recognize the sound on it).  It's
running xorg-x11-6.8.1.

The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common.
Instead of altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts
to fit their views ... which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to
be one of the facts that needs altering.
