=== Linux X.Org driver ===
Not supported by the Xorg radeon driver.

Should be supported by the new (as of 2007-10-22) radeonhd driver. A Debian package already exists in the experimental branch. 3d is still under development.

==== ThinkPad LCD ====
Display on the internal LCD works as long as you set the monitor settings correctly. Changing the driver from "ati" to "vesa" in xorg.conf will start X but with a lower resolution than expected.

Full resolution can be achieved when all modelines are removed and mode 1600x1200 with depth 24 is selected.

==== External VGA port ====
Yes

==== SVideo port ====
No

==== DVI port ====
No (yes on Docking Station, working with [[fglrx]] driver

=== Proprietary ATI driver ===
Proprietary [[fglrx]] driver works since version 8.25.18, version 8.24.8 works by adding "ChipID 0x71c5" to the xorg.conf "Device" statement and fooling it into thinking it's a X1600 mobility (do this only as a last resort or if you're sure you have an older driver; it is fatal to version 8.25.18).

The new driver 8.25.18 seems to support the card, see
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=1643
(successfully tested with the provided autorun installation script on OpenSuSE 10.1, T60p with 15" display).

(K)ubuntu 6.06 comes with this driver and it works out of the box. However, it seems to have problems with VT Switching (Alt+Fn). Instead of switching to a console, X resets and goes back to the log in screen (This doesn't happen when using the [[vesa]] driver). The switching issue might be resolvable by setting ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true in /etc/default/acpi-support, but it doesn't seem to help on all systems.

Note: On Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) with 'splash' on the command line, you cannot switch to VTs. This is a Thinkpad T60. The screen remains graphical, but is very badly garbled. There is no text. X does not reset, and you can switch back to your X session. The solution is to include 'vga=791' or to remove 'splash' from the grub/lilo command line. You don't need to do both. (It's been a few days, so I don't remember where I found this...I just chanced upon this wiki page for the video card I'm trying to get working with xgl/AIGLX and Beryl).

Also, the pointer gets garbled sometimes in X, but this is only a minor annoyance. Dual Head (Xinerama) also works with this driver, but don't use KDE control center to enable it (use the ATi tool or edit xorg.conf manually)

I have a feeling that this card gets in the way when trying to suspend to RAM (resuming with a complete blank screen, lights are blinking, but that's it), but this can also be caused by other means.

=== Proprietary ATI driver on Ubuntu Feisty ===
I had a hard time getting resume from suspend-to-ram to work with Feisty on a Thinkpad T60p. When resuming, the screen just went black with X hanging.

It works like this:
# In <code>/etc/acpi/sleep.sh</code>, as second line, add the line <code>sudo chvt 1</code>. This forces a switch to the text console before standby.
# Likewise, in add to the very end of the file <code>/etc/acpi/resume.sh</code> the line <code>sudo chvt 7</code>.
# Finally, the perhaps most important change goes into <code>/etc/default/acpi-support</code>. Change the line <code>POST_VIDEO=true</code> to read <code>POST_VIDEO=</code>. This was the point when it started working on my system.

:'''NOTE:''' Step 3. above was the only change '''I''' needed to make. YMMV. --[[User:Brianfinley|Brian E. Finley]] 23:26, 30 March 2007 (CEST)

:'''NOTE:''' With only Step 3. above, my T60p would not even suspend when docked. Step 3. above was sufficient to make resume work for me when my laptop was not in its docking station. However, when I subsequently docked the machine I saw something I thought was banished with my upgrade to a 2.6.20 kernel: it uncermoniously powered off the instant it was docked, almost as though someone threw a hardware switch. --[[User:dave_abrahams|Dave Abrahams]] Thu Apr 12 11:18:22 EDT 2007

:'''UPDATE:''' The problems mentioned above related to docking seem to happen when I use the gnome-power-manager applet menu but not when I use the suspend function in the window that results from clicking the "Log Out Button" applet. When I use the latter, suspend-to-RAM seems to work right, consistently. I'm [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/107674 following up with Ubuntu] on this point. --[[User:dave_abrahams|Dave Abrahams]] Thu Apr 19 11:53 GMT 2007

:'''NOTE:''' Editing <code>/etc/acpi/sleep.sh</code> and <code>/etc/acpi/resume.sh</code> is not necessary, as there is an option in <code>/etc/default/acpi-support</code> for ''that very feature'': Just set the commented out DOUBLE_CONSOLE_SWITCH=true, and it will do the console switch suggested automatically. --[[User:Webograph|Webograph]] 12:43, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

For completeness, here are the complete settings of this file:
<ol>
<li>ACPI_SLEEP=true</li>
<li>ACPI_HIBERNATE=true</li>
<li>ACPI_SLEEP_MODE=mem</li>
<li>MODULES=""</li>
<li>MODULE_WHITELIST=""</li>
<li>SAVE_VBE_STATE=true</li>
<li>VBE_STATE=/var/lib/acpi_support/vbestate</li>
<li>POST_VIDEO=</li>
<li>USE_DPMS=true</li>
<li># RADEON_LIGHT=true</li>
<li># DOUBLE_CONSOLE_SWITCH=true</li>
<li>HIBERNATE_MODE=shutdown</li>
<li>LOCK_SCREEN=true</li>
<li># DISABLE_DMA=true</li>
<li># RESET_DRIVE=true</li>
<li>STOP_SERVICES="mysql "</li>
<li>RESTART_IRDA=false</li>
<li>ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true</li>
</ol>

Point 11 may eventually replace the chvt settings above, but I didn't try.

=== Linux kernel Framebuffer driver ===

Supported by the [http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/vesafb-tng/ vesafb-tng] project, but requires the boot parameter {{bootparm|video|vesafb:nocrtc}}.

Alternatively, you may use classic vesafb with {{bootparm|vga|838}} for a 1400x1050 screen with 32 bit color depth.

{{NOTE|The [[fglrx]] driver may cause distortion/corruption of the framebuffer after use at high resolutions, making the text difficult to read.}}
