   I'm writing this from Gnome on my T20---KDE should work
just as well once X is running.  It finds my Trackpoint,
which works fine.  I've never tried an external mouse;
you'll have to futz around with to get that running.

   Here's my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, with all the fat cut
out.  I don't really know what's going on here, since it's
mainly cut & past, with some Ubuntu device-recognition
thrown in.

   It seems some flesh went too, since this config runs only
in 1024x768.  I used to be able to get 640x480 and 800x600
using Ctrl-Alt-+ or Ctrl-Alt--.  I can give you the whole
thing, unabridged, if you want, once you get this running.
Hope this helps.
