I just got vesa working with full res. 1920x1200. (I'll BLog how some day soon)

Only remaing problem so far:
GoogleEarth does not even run slow but crashes X ;-((
I think because xorg's software GLX, unlike the nvidia driver, does not provide 32bit compatibility on 64bit installations.
Well, I can live with that for quite some time.

For now, with new thinkpad_acpi and vesa drivers, all major stuff works:
X, suspend/resume, sound, WLan, even VMWare and probably bluetooth (no time to test right now, but seems ok).

Skype and Opera lack 64bit binaries, but that's their large fault and a major mistake (as the current generation of machines supporting 4-Gig-RAM will drive everyone to 64bit installations).
