Personally I'm not bothered by scuffs and marks, as long as they are not on
the screen and as long the laptop is super clean (I use the laptop in the
worst condition we were able to source, clean it, usually replace the screen
with an AFFS screen, get a new keyboard and I'm happy).

So true, I'm amazed at how fast it is. I have a desktop machine, with a
higher-end Core2Quad (each core is about the same speed as on the Core2Duo of
my X200), which recently got an upgrade in the form of

I would not have cared about or used suspend, it just automatically suspended
when the lid was closed. Which I like doing when the thing is on the dock.
After the reinstall, it seems to work most of the time atm, using linux
4.4.0-140-generic. I
I don't think suspend works with Libreboot. Hibernate instead, it's also more
secure (with disk encryption). There may be some regressions in the kernel,
so it might work with one version and it might fail with another.

I'm using KDE, but the options seem to be the same. I chose "blank screen"
and that's what it does, but after a short moment (half a minute?) the
moon-shaped LED turns on, which probably means suspend.

So right now, after reinstall, suspend seems to work a bit better. Kernel is
4.4.0-140-generic. When I try suspending from the main menu (using KDE), the
same problem occurs.
But when closing the lid the notebook goes to suspend after a short period of
inactivity and wakes up immediately af

Never had a problem with suspend, or hibernate using Libreboot. Those with
issues should maybe try installing Powertop. It has helped some with screen
dimming and whining issues, so might help with the suspend, hibernate
problems! However, I had screen dimming and whining on my X200 and it di

Thanks for all the input!
I just recently managed to re-install Trisquel, with no encryption and an 8GB
swap in addition to my 8GB RAM. That ought to be more than enough for me.
During installation I choose linux-generic, so maybe suspending and/or
hibernating will work now, checking it lat

On the X60 I think I just followed the libreboot documentation to
install libreboot. This was about a year and a half ago, but I'm pretty
sure that I did not customize it at all.

That's interesting, did you customize some configuration files? Are you using

Suspend and hibernate have always worked reliably with my librebooted
X60 and X200.

libreboot cannot do sleep or hibernate in general, at least not reliably.
Vikings recommends disabling those options as far as possible to avoid any
issues.
Of course, seeing how far free BIOS replacements have come, I think sleep and
hibernate will eventually be available too.
Hmm... I never have had that problem with suspend even with trisquel 7.
Trisquel 8 I imagine could be different, but more than likely its something
of a bug.
Hibernate however works very badly on trisquel 7, so I assume the same can be
said for trisquel 8.
Sleep and hibernate don't work, sad but true. Have to keep the lid open even
when the X200 sits on the dock, which really looks stupid on my table
(otherwise the machine boots normally, only to end up in sleep mode right
after login, even though I disabled sleep and hibernate as far as I can
Mmh. I have a docking station for my x200 but I don't use it much. I'm not
sure hibernation is fully working with Libreboot. I would disable it
entirely.
Since your Trisquel 8 installation is fully encrypted, a Trisquel reinstall
or installation of an other distro implies to fully format the drive.
So indeed you will lose the data on it. ;)
it will not touch the grub.cfg file (the one in the coreboot filesystem in
the flashchip) since you need

It has Trisquel 8 installed, with full disk encryption, ready to go. I'm
enjoying the great keyboard on this thing right now as I type. Feels great to
finally own this!
