IBM Thinkpad T22 problem

IBM Thinkpad T22 problem

Guys: Just installed Debian 6.0.3 on a Thinkpad T22. After a power up boot, I get a blank screen. No GDM/KDM, no text screen - just blank.

You also can't ctrl-alt-backspace, F1, or del out of it. It must be turned off and turned back on, which gets me back to the same problem.

I know it's something to do with the Xorg settings (I've seen this before on Debian 4 and had a fix then.) but I can't find the fix, and now it seems there's something more off.

This is the LS -LA listing from /etc/X-11/

Code:

The computer's exact mode is: IBM Thinkpad T22 type: 2647-8eu - It has a savage s3 video card, 512megs memory, 900mhz, P2 processor.

I've installed Debian 6.0.3 and XFCE 4. Just downloaded a new copy about 2 days ago, and this works fine on the netbook, so it's not a disk problem.
