Admittedly the information about coreboot on a T60/X60 is spread around quite a bit: http://www.coreboot.org/Thinkpad_X60s has some status info http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2012-January/067959.html has some info on how to replace the BIOS on that machine with coreboot, but read the WHOLE thread because the linked mail had a few typos in the description. > Any pointers to information about it would be very welcome (e.g. which > T60 are "supported" or at least expected to work? AFAIK all T60/X60 variants work with coreboot. Sven Schnelle knows more, he is the one who ported coreboot to those thinkpads. > does flashrom work or do I need some hardware-mod? You need a small flashrom patch and the bucts utility, no hardware mod needed. > how easily can I revert to the proprietary > firmware if something (e.g. suspend) doesn't work quite right?) You can simply reflash the original BIOS to the flash chip if you're running coreboot.
