Important Note
There is currently a bug that prevent the computer from resuming properly from suspend and from hibernation. To avoid it, you just have to enter the BIOS and configure SerialATA in "compatibility mode" (not ahci mode)
Configuration
This computer can be purchased in one of the following video adapter :
Display / Intel 945
Xorg
The graphic adapter is an "Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) 945GM" ?BR(["device identifier/PCI"] 8086:27a2)
Xwindow was properly configured automatically (using Driver "i810"). You can find a sample xorg.conf ([:#attachments]).
OpenGL
(not covered)
Switching to External Screen
Use a RandR tool, like gnome's scren resolution or xrandr.
Display / ATI M52 Radeon
Device is an "ATI Mobility Radeon X1300"?BR ?BR(["device identifier/PCI"] 1002:7149) (not covered)
OpenGL
(not covered)
Audio / Intel hda 82801G
Device is a "High Definition Audio Controller : Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family)"?BR ?BR(["device identifier/PCI"] 8086:27D8)
Which uses Intel's "high definition audio" module : snd-hda-intel
it was configured properly out of the box.
Keyboard
The Thinkpad hotkeys aren't all handled the same way : Some are captured as ACPI, some aren't.

Power-Management keys
Lock screen
Under gnome, go to Menu/Desktop/Preferences/Keyboard Shortcuts,Goto to "Lock Screen" then replace the default "Ctrl-Alt-l" with Fn-F2 (press and hold "Fn", then click, then press F2).
Mouse
The Thinkpad T60 has a two built-in mouse : a Touchpad and a Trackpoint (both working out of the box). Each mouse's data is available through a separate /dev/mouse{0,1} and the combination of both events are available in /dev/mice.
Built-in Touchpad
(device identifier "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad", as reported by cat /proc/bus/input/devices) The first mouse is Synaptics Touchpad. If you want to tweak default configuration/behaviour, use touchpad configuration tool: package: (optional:tpconfig)
Works out of the box.
Built-in Trackpoint
(device identifier "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint", as reported by cat /proc/bus/input/devices)
The other built-in mouse is a Trackpoint. The mouse was working, but middle button doesn't scroll by default, some tweaking was required :
/etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" #Comment this line out. #Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" #add those three lines Option "EmulateWheel" "true" Option "EmulateWheelTimeOut" "200" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" #more information http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint EndSection
Power Management
Configuring Suspend
(Needs Testing)
Configuring Hibernation
Works out of the box.
CPU Frequency scaling
Enabled by default (see cpufreq-info)
Wifi / Intel 3945
Requires a non-free firmware. see : see ["iwlwifi"]
Wireless : Thinkpad 802.11abg
device : "03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)"
(Not covered yet)
Bluetooth
Some Thinkpad have a built-in "Broadcom BCM2045B" bluetooth adapter. ?BR(["device identifier/USB"] 0a5c:2110)
No configuration is required.
The "Radio Switch" has to be "on" ?Footnote(it isn't stricly required, see /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth), then press Fn-F7.
Modem
The modem is an sl-modem one. You will need to compile the "Smart Link Soft Modem" module. (This compile will only compile under i386-?86. i.e it won't compile on an amd64 kernel)
/etc/apt/sources.list #Add "non-free" and "contrib" for "sl-modem" module. deb http://ftp.XX.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
Then run :
apt-get install module-assistant pppconfig m-a -t prepare m-a -t update m-a -t a-i sl-modem apt-get install sl-modem-daemon
The modem is available using device /dev/slamr0
This currntly seems broken.
