I tested the xf86-video-avivo driver on my ThinkPad T60p (Mobility FireGL 
V5200), and unfortunately it doesn't work yet. Attempting to load the driver 
on a cold boot results in X.org crashing, and loading it after using fglrx 
results in a screen filled with garbage (which can be fixed by blindly 
loading X with fglrx).

lspci output:

What other information is needed to add support for the M56GL to the R500 
driver?
