I had this problem too, and the only way to get X working properly (legibly) was to use the SVGA driver. This of course made the graphics performance really bad (ssssssssloooooooooowwwwwwwww). So it would be really good if the Mach64 XFree86 driver was up to it.

Subject: xf86 and laptop displays
Running a Thinkpad 1460 with a Rage Mobility chipset, I've been able to configure X to bring up the proper 1024x768 display on my laptop screen. The display looks very messed, however, with lines and windows pseudo overlapping each other, and other neat glitches. It almost looks like it might be a timing issue...? What values have people found to set for the horizontal and vertical timing ranges when configuring the monitor for an LCD display? I'm sort of assuming that it really doesn't need a range, but a single set of numbers?
