The Thinkpad seems to be cropping up alot in bug reports...
No surprise there. It's the elite laptop, and has been since it
displaced the Sony VAIOs some time back. I don't think I've met a
Linux hacker in the last five years who carried anything else for
reasons other than costs-too-much.
after a
lot of sweat and tears I have regained most of my Thinkpad's
functionality since the upgrade (actually a fresh install repeated
several times).
Have you managed to get suspend/resume to work reliably? On my X40
the situation is bad...
Another solution which will probably take too much work: make some
sort of LiveCD with sufficient functionality to test all the hardware
compatibility.
If anyone out there does this, I'm willing to test it and send in prompt
and detailed bug reports.
