Heh. Interesting, considering the XF86 4 driver for the chipset in
the 760s is broken (can't do DMA in the embedded version, so it
totally hoses the screen), so I've been forced to stick with XF86 3
there.

Hrm. I do see a T23, but it's got a 14.1" TFT:

It does look more appetizing, and I don't think it was even in the
list yesterday.
This is all coming from IBM's refurb site:

They don't seem to have any X series laptops there just now.
Also, unless I'm mistaken, the X series lacks the main reason I want
the laptop (over my 760s): three mouse buttons. (As near as I can
tell, only the 600s and T{21..23}s have that.)
