Quoting Ted Unangst ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): from the end of your x log. seems the x40 simply can't handle a monitor that big. Indeed, the specs for the X40 seems to indicate it can't, but booting the other (disgusting) OS installed on the same harddrive outputs [EMAIL PROTECTED] perfectly. Also,

If I'm reading this correctly, 1680x1050 is not a supported mode for an external monitor on an x40. 1600x1200 is the only 1600 mode it supports. It's towards the end of the page, but like I said, I could be interpreting this wrong. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-58221.html --
