Hello, I have an IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T43, I'm using Ubuntu and FreeBSD without any major problem.
What works out of the box: -wireless NIC = internal wifi card (intel 2200bg) -wired NIC (gigabit ) -sounds (intel chipset) -3D acceleration (chipset intel GMA 900, shared memory) -bluetooth -hibernation -suspend to ram -touchpoint -trackpoint Works with little work: -1400x1050 resolution (need to install 915resolution package) -infrared Untested: -internal modem (winmodem) -external monitor -hdaps (harddrive shock protection) -cpu frequency scaling This laptop looks like very solid (not 'plastic' like Dell Inpiron I had), and not too heavy Drawbacks: -battery lifetime is not very long (~3hours with wireless on) -I find fan noise annoying (just my opinion, so subjective) -expensive ;) For more info on thinkpad running Linux, see http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki and for more informations on Ubuntu laptop support, go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/ I hope this can help you :) Cheers, Loic -- laptop-testing-team mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/laptop-testing-team
