Speaking of the T61, here's a little bit of sharing from what I've discovered. As far as how this applies to Gutsy, you're unfortunately on your own: * Thinkpad_acpi needs to be the *latest* patchset to work properly. He only recently added 15-layer brightness, which means with an older tp-acpi you won't get full brightness on the t61 hardware. * The usb controller does NOT like powertops suggestion of using usb-autosuspend. Don't. * Install the latest Bios. This came out Oct 18. It reduced power consumption by a measurable amount. * acpi_video is key to have configured and loaded * The nvidia model is very finicky about when it works with brightness. It didn't work at all until I upgraded the bios, and then stopped working again during a kernel upgrade. * Sound does not work until 2.6.23, the intel_hda drivers were funny before then. * The TPM needs the TIC and Infineon drivers. And it doesn't seem to like a suspend/resume cycle. Despite all that, it's a reasonably solid piece of hardware. I've got everything I need working, working, at this point, and while the brightness not working in X is slightly annoying I can get around it easily enough.
