Not at all..  I meant that you had to use XFree 4.x, as there wasn't a 
3.x server that worked with the chipset in the laptop.  You should be 
fine.

On a sort of related note, if you don't already have the T22, and don't 
need to always have the optical drive, consider the X23.  I ran RH8 on 
one for a while before selling it, and loved it.  Amazingly light and 
great battery life.  Smallish screen (12.1"), but still looked great at 
1024x768.  It used a Radeon 7000 for the video, so it always looked 
great.  I also ran Gentoo on it for a while, and that worked well too.
