I'd like to see if flashing it to SVGA 240's/1124's makes them play nicely with XGA panels. Just swapping the panel (XGA panel on originally-SVGA machines) gives this:

And Windows 98 / modern Linux both end up seeing an SVGA output, and the panel repeats the image below and to the side, similar to the BIOS screen. I'm not great with hardware stuff but I have a feeling that dumping the BIOS from an XGA machine might resolve it.
Take a look at our

SVGA (800x600) is too small really for an XGA (1024x768) screen.

I can help with this, but my Thinkpad 240Z is going to be going back into storage soon. What's the best way to back up the BIOS? The computer's currently got XP on it but I can load whichever OS that makes it possible.
