I forgot the punchline - if others also want to build a QXGA laptop,
contact me.  We can build a few at the January Linux clinic, or even
this month's clinic on the 20th if you order the parts quickly.  You
will need a 15 inch standard screen Thinkpad T60 (ebay?) and an
IAQX10N screen (try bigestock.com).

The upgrade will not work with a 14.1 or 15.4 inch display.

If the Thinkpad has a 1600x1200 or a 1400x1050 15 inch display, then
you probably have the proper backlight inverter board.  If it has a
1024x768 15 inch display, you will need to get a 42T0076 or a 42T0079
inverter board.  These are about $10 used on ebay, or $40 new from
acsparts.com .
