I tried a couple years back to do this, but had no luck so I reverted
the machine back to XFree 3.3.x which worked in 800x600 8 bit color
mode. The laptop is long gone, so I can't be of any more help.
At the time there seemed to be no work being done on the EL video
chipset. I suspect there is no change in the progress.
