It seems that there is something with my screen refresh frequency. When I move windows around or when I watch movies it seems like half of the window moves first and the other half a fraction of a second later.
It must be an xorg problem because it happens with video and with static windows.
I'm sorry, english is not my main language and I can't really explain it better.
My linux distro is Arch linux (www.archlinux.org)
here is my xorg log:

and here is my xorg.xonf
http://www.ctrler.eu/paste/xorg.conf
Thanks.

well im no expert but your screen section is completely empty so i don't think X know what resolution to try first or any. this is from my xorg.conf:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Mobility FireGL v5200"
Monitor "Standard Skærm"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
Modes "1400x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 4
Modes "1400x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1400x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
Modes "1400x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1400x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1400x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
As far as i know X will try them all one by one until it finds something that works. in my case 1400x1050 is the first to try (t60p 14inch 1400x1050)
so you might wanna try put your preferred resolution into xorg.conf
also i suggest you install "envy" it can install your ATI and edit your xorg.conf automatically

xorg auto detects my resolution and it is the correct one, the problems are with the refresh rates.
Envy only works on ATI or Nvidia, my graphics card is an Intel X3100 (i965).
Does anyone know the specifications (refresh rates) for the non-ultralight TFT on the thinkpad X61s? I think it's same as the X60s.
Thanks.
