Linux X.Org driver
Supported by Xorg.
Linux Intel driver
There is a Graphics driver for the Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset Family at Intels Support Site. This driver is just a snapshot of the Xorg/XFree86 driver.
In my case, the i810 driver recommended by multiple sources for this graphics card did not work, leaving a message of "No device found." Running against the generic vesa drivers solved that problem.
ThinkPad LCD
Display on the internal LCD works as long as you set the monitor settings correct.
External VGA port
Works. Dualhead is supported.
There are two options for running the external VGA port - either as a copy of the LCD (clone) or as a separate workspace. Here is an example for the separate workspace mode for xorg.conf for the X60s:

SVideo port
??
DVI port
DVI passthrough is only supported on the T60.
Linux support status is unknown
Suspend behaviour
- Required kernel parameters for suspend to ram: none
- Additional notes:
- switch to/from X11 to reinitialize display properly (stays black)
- DO NOT use vbetool to save/restore the video mode, this breakes resume!
