I got myself a shiny new IBM ThinkPad T23. I've used one for years, and
it worked fine with savagefb and XFree/X.org. The old one had a 1024x768
LCD screen, the new one has a 1400x1050 LCD screen.

Unfortunately, savagefb doesn't work correctly on the new laptop.

X.org works just fine in 1400x1050.
By default xorg uses the bios to set modes.  Also, most of the panels
on thinkpads run at 50 Hz so you may have to tweak your mode.

Can you enable debug in fbmon and post your dmesg. Also what default mode
is it trying to go to?
