It works with X.org provided you use an analog (VGA) output. The digital
part of the DVI connector doesn't quite work yet (I know how to kick it
into life by banging some chip registers, it's just that X.org does a
few wrong assumptions there). Well... at least on previous models, I'm
not 100% sure on how the latest one in the 5,6 is wired...
