Both the TFT panels I've used have required unusual LILO settings for vga mode 
- more details on the Reviews section of the DCLUG website.

SUSE always has problems with my panels - I can never get an even display, 
there are out-of-focus vertical lines each 2 inches across the screen, about 
2mm wide each. Very disorientating when all my work is text. I haven't worked 
out why only SUSE is affected - I've installed a dozen other distros and 
they've all worked flawlessly once the vga setting was in LILO.

Basically, if you can get X working on a laptop, it will work on most TFT's.
