I've just added an entry on want.html for a Thinkpad X60 or X60s. These machines contain the 945GM chipset which shows severe graphics corruption problems with inteldrm(4). I've seen some corruption happen on other intel graphics hardware, but none as severe as on these kinds of Thinkpads.
In dmesg the graphics show up as: vga1 at pci0 dev 2 function 0 "Intel 82945GM Video" rev 0x03 And in Xorg.0.log as: [ 19.045] (--) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) 945GM GNOME looks like this: http://stsp.name/images/broken-icons.png These machines also show the "GPU hung" problems people have been complaining about with various intel graphics chipsets. The screen ends up completely garbled and a reboot is required to unwedge it. They also show random rectangles of white and black lines across images in web browsers, most notably when browsing maps. More of these laptops are needed by developers to tackle the issues. Fixing these bugs without access to hardware is very hard. The X60 line is somewhat dated by now. So I hope that someone out there has a spare one they could donate. Keep in mind that newer chipset generations might also benefit from any stability improvements for older chipsets. Please contact me (Europe) or jsg@ (Australia) if you can help out. Thanks!
