For what ever its worth, I have attached my XF86Config file. I have
an IBM560X Thinkpad. I believe it is the same chip, so there is a
good chance it will work.
You might try the Xinside driver. It is free to download, and self
installs. Then to get a license it is only $20. It has better acceleration
than XFree86 (on scrolling for example). SO it is worth it anyway.
Hope this helps.
See attachment.
