A quick search of IBM's web site reveales...nothing but the model number.

But, a quick search of the WWW, and wala!
http://peach.mie.utoronto.ca/people/tsangc/tech-6091-index.html

But, what you are really looking for is here....a link from that first page...
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jonass/linux6091.html

Plug some of these modes into your XF86Config file, and give them a whirl.

Lost in Tokyo,
