VGA Out on T40p

Dear Lazyway...

Next week I'm giving a presentation at GUADEC and would like to avoid embarrassing last-minute configuring of X by setting up VGA out on my laptop before I leave. This is harder than it sounds as I don't actually own any monitors any more.

If anyone out there has the VGA port working on a Thinkpad T40p (or similar) in clone mode, with GL acceleration, hopefully with automatic down-scaling to 1024x768, then can you please mail me your xorg.conf. I have S-video out sort-of working but it's not downscaling the image and I've lost GL acceleration, which is a great pain.

Note: any comments about how I'm evil for using a non-free driver will be ignored.

Feel free to ignore this.

You're evil for using a non-free driver.  You do know that radeon works with 3D accel also, right?  Grab me at GUADEC and we'll sort it; I've got it working just fine on my T43.

If you ever get any working config, I'm very intrested in it too.
