hopefully we have other ways to guess for a laptop. current code
is:
sub isLaptop() {
hasPCMCIA() || (matching_desc('C&T.*655[45]\d') || matching_desc('C&T.*68554') ||
matching_desc('Neomagic.*Magic(Media|Graph)') ||
matching_desc('ViRGE.MX') || matching_desc('S3.*Savage.*[IM]X') ||
matching_desc('ATI.*(Mobility|LT)'));
}
(matching_desc being equivalent to output of lspcidrake)

Why not. I didn't personally know thinkpads needed an additional
package. If dmidecode is supposed to not crash the machine (I
suppose it tried to read in BIOS memory). Any less invasive way
to guess for a thinkpad? Anything thinkpad-special in
lspcidrake's output?
