Feel free to email me if you're having trouble getting your X1200 to
work. I've got an X1270 which is pretty similar. For giggles, can you send me the output of "lspci -n" on that system, I am curious what the PCI ID is for your IGP.
The problem here is that we have three different variants but it looks like we only used two PCI device Ids, so it's pretty much impossible for the driver to put the right name to each chip. In Windows the correct device name is stored in an INF string in the driver builds we make specifically for a customer, so the correct device name is always reported. Generic drivers have an INF string like "X1200 family".
The Ids we used are 791E and 791F. The intent was that 791E be desktop and 791F be mobile, but when the "T" variant was introduced it used the same 791F device ID.
In theory the naming should be :
X1270 - 690T X1250 - 690 / 690M X1200 - 690C / 690MC (these are also called "...V" in some cases)...
... but the device Ids were not assigned along those lines. Now that OEMs are starting to ship preconfigured Linux systems these issues will go away over time. In the meantime a generic 12xx string might not be the worst answer.

That mates with what I have been reading. What are the actual differences between these chips? I have had trouble tracking this down outside of what people have been posting on Wikipedia and a gaggle of conflicting articles on the subject.
