Bruce,
I too have a T60p with the V5200 and got the ATI driver installed which works well for X sessions but I get strange corruption when when I switch to a console screen with Ctrl+Alt+Fn. Thherre iss aa ssorrt off oddd dooubblee llettteer efffeectt.
Do you get the same thing? Could you post the Device section from your xorg.conf?
Indeed I do get that! I had to go change the video mode in grub to get it to work correctly. I'm hoping that the next release of the ATI drivers will fix this, although of course they would have to know about it somehow (anyone know if ATI has a bug reporting page?).
I've just tried the 8.26.18 driver that was released yesterday and there is unfortunately no change for this behaviour. But changing the vga= mode in grub isn't too bad a workaround. As for entering bugs, there is a feedback section which allows you to enter a problem report for the Linux drivers - just don't pick "notebook" as they are unsupported, despite the one driver supporting all cards (including notebooks).
