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.

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

I've enabled debug in fbmon and gotten this dmesg (after 'modprobe
savagefb'). I don't see any debug messages. I also don't see any i2c
messages, and there's no *i2c* files under /sys.

I notice I didn't say clearly in my first post that 800x600 works,
1024x768 works, 1280x1024 flickers very badly, and 1400x1050 is
unreadable. Also, X.org tells me it's using a 60 Hz frequency, not 50 Hz
as someone else supposed. A part of Xorg.log is also below.

Well, the bios claims it's 60Hz, but IIRC, if you look at the dclk
registers it runs the panel at something lower..
