Well, NetBSD/mac68k will boot on it, but won't use the internal
video:

  http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/machine-status/

I'd guess this is one of those situations where Apple won't give out
docs and no one's taken the time to reverse engineer what's needed
for the video card yet.

So, you could run NetBSD on it... but you couldn't do much with it
as an actual laptop.
