Danny,

I have still not found the magic mode line, but I have a (slightly
messy) work-around.

When the screen comes up out of sync, swith to a VT screen
(e.g. CTRL-ALT-F2). Then turn the screen off again (Fn-F3). Wake it up
in text mode and it will sync. Switch back to the X screen
(CTRL-ALT-F9). Viola! 1440x1050 in sync.

No pretty and I hope to eventually have something better, but my new
T30 is outside my reach until sometime next week. Our Windows folks
are installing XP on it. :-( But, unless I can get Visio to work on
the system with Cross-Over, I'm stuck with a dual boot system.

FWIW, the configuration generated by "x -configure" seems to work pretty
well. I did tweak it a bit for DRI support (which seems to work well)
and DefaultColorDepth. I did not have to add the "HorizSync" or
"VertRefresh" lines.

I also discovered that, if I don't turn off the touchpad in BIOS, the
track-point middle button does not work! Two button mouse! Yuck!
