Ok, that's good to know that it works. Hopefully I get my CDs soon so I
can test it out.

Hi, I recently installed 4.0 straight from CDs to my T60, from scratch. The
reverse-engineered ipw3945 driver is especially awesome and works "right out of the
box". The only things that don't work without a lot of intervention (I'm assuming
here) are full 3d ati video driver and I didn't install an SMP kernel.
Even with using vnconfig to encrypt home (swap is of course already encrypted) and a non-SMP kernel, it did fairly well with a fully-tweaked KDE environment. I was very satisfied.
I also installed 3.9 on this same t60 and ran into the hard drive problem (go
into bios and switch from sata to compatibility mode and it will work), as well
as no wifi. 4.0 (and then i upgraded to 4.1 current).

Just planning on getting new T60 laptop to replace my 'toy' laptop. I'm
wondering does OpenBSD run on T60 and does all of the devices work with it?
Are there Thinkpad specific packages in ports?
I think atleast the fingerprint reader won't work although that would be
pretty nice if it did work. The Active protection system or what it was
called did
have some driver in OBSD AFAIK.
I checked from OpenBSD/laptop site and it doesn't have any T60's listed
IIRC
but I found one thread in net that 3.9 installation didn't find the hard
drive
for T60 so OBSD couldn't be installed. Has the situation improved since?
Still waiting for my 4.1 CD's :)
