X stopped working on my T41p :-/

[Poul-Henning Kamp]

X stopped working on my T41p, and I'm wondering if anybody know if
this failure indication of hardware trouble, or if there is some
trick to getting the attention of the radeon chip ?

I have tried all the usual tricks, holy water, dead chicken, take
out batteries for 15 minutes etc.

Failing any good ideas for recovery, recommendations for sensible
and solid laptops are welcome in private email.
