X also works fine on my X200 running GuixSD, although I confess I've not
yet gotten around to reflashing Libreboot on this machine since I had to
replace its motherboard some months ago.  I'm not sure if the use of
Libreboot is relevant to this issue, but I would not rule out that
possibility, since both Libreboot and the X200 proprietary BIOS perform
early initialization of the graphics hardware.

Here's the relevant excerpt of my lspci output:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Memory 
Controller Hub (rev 07)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset 
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset 
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

Does the lspci output look different for your X200?
