I am running Win4Lin on Mandrake 7.2 with XFree86 4.x on my ThinkPad, and
it runs perfectly. However, I do not run it as a full-screen window. It is
something like 1024x700, with my actual resolution at 1024x768. I don't
have my laptop handy, or I would confirm it for you. Out of curiosity, did
you apply the patch and recompile your kernel yourself, or simply download
the pre-compiled kernel? I did the latter....
