Ah right. I stopped trying that when I went to XFree 4.0.2 (Now at 4.1.0).

Currently (With XFree86 v4.1.0) I'm down to it only stops working when the
thinkpad has been hibernated (As you suggested). Not sure why, because it
appears to be the only piece of software that has this problem... Everything
else works fine (I have some other SDL software that works fine after a
hibernate... I guess vlc is doing something slightly different).

I also tried the gatos driver... It appears to be completely broken with my
current setup, with nasty green interference at the bottom of the XVideo
window that extends right across the whole display (Had that with 4.02 and
4.10 XFree's when trying to use the Gatos stuff). Mind you I'm not sure the
Gatos stuff gives you much more than the bog standard 4.1.0 drivers now...
