A30 10.2 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png acpi alright, Irda working, Internal modem found, not shure if working. D-Link Wireless PCMCIA card found, but not working
A31p 9.3 / 10.0 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Internal modem working, Irda working
R30 10.0 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Internal modem not working. Suspend buggy. Not checked external video connection.
R32 10.0 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png
R40 SLED10 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png
R50e 11 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Doesn't suspend.See Remark R50e is not in the s2ram whitelist. It needs some extend search to check what s2ram options work fine. See: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=190481. Other powermanagement features works fine.
R51 10.0 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png External video connection not working properly (OK in clone mode). Suspend-to-RAM consumes too much power under ACPI.
R51 10.1 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.pngImage:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Try pushing the hardware buttons if sound is not working ;-)
R51 10.2 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Suspend-to-RAM needs config tweaks to get sensible power drain.
R52 10.1 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Video requires x-server download from ATI, see HOWTO.
R60 10.2 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Video Bios requires tweaking with 915resolution.
T21 10.2 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png internal modem not working, thinkpad keys not functioning and PCMCIA cards can cause problems as I needed to add "exclude irq 3" in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts to avoid irq 3 conflict during install/boot with 16 bit cards
T22 9.3 / 10.0 final Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png internal modem does not work
T23 10.0 RC1 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png
T30 10.0 / 11.0 RC1 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Desktop effects work great once you enable them in 11.0 RC1, other than being a little slow. May lock up if Ultra Bay is hot-swaped without Thinkpad management. Had funny DHCP issues, would not resolve name server, but don't believe that's hardware based.
T40 9.3 / 10.0 RC1 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png apm OK / acpi works, but consumes too much power in suspend2ram
T41 9.3,10.0,10.1 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png apm OK / acpi works
T41 10.3 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png
T40p 9.3,10.1 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png
T41p 9.3/10.0/10.1/10.2 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png for suspend see /usr/share/doc/packages/
powersave/README.suspend2ram
T42 9.2,10.0,10.1,10.2 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Added ww2.ati.com/suse/10.2/ installation source for fglrx 8.33 for M10 9600. Have Beryl Xgl working with final xorg 7.2. Suspend to Ram works and finally does not show video corruption at the top of the display upon resume. Bluetooth works fine. Didn't need to configure nvram on OpenSuse 10.2.
T42p 10.0 beta2 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png you need kernel-default-nongpl that is not provided Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Numlock does currently not work within X. This is a minor issue and should be fixed with beta3.
T43 10.0 RC1 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png copy firmware ipw2200 into /lib/firmware not tested Image:22px-Tick.png Installing Linux failed initially since resizing of ntfs partition failed - after complete new installation of Windows XP with IBM recovery CDs and resizing of the ntfs everything worked. Tip: Burn recovery CDs first and don't install grub into the MBR since you'll loose the IBM recovery key function (cf. SuSE Linux & T43)
T43-2668 10.0 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Internal modem doesn't work with the default driver, look at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/
T60 10.1,10.2,10.3 Image:22px-Tick.png need to install ATI Driver. Straight foward procedure Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png make sure all ipw3945 drivers & firmware (esp. non-oss) selected during install. Otherwise, post install ipw-firmware and ipw3945d packages from non-oss repository or Extras CD. Also, be sure the wireless kill switch is not turned off, it is near the IR port. ipw3945 kernel module bug in 10.3: go to HCL/Network Adapters (Wireless) for fix. Image:22px-Tick.png 10.2 worked fine Image:22px-Tick.png Will try setting up fingerprint login. Tried installing Suse 9.3: didn't recognise HD. Advanced mini-dock seems to work well (tested parallel, USB, & DVI-D ports). For more on ATI drivers, see ATI driver How-To page for SuSE specific instructions. http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_opensuse_10.2_on_a_ThinkPad_T60 -/- HDAPS Hard Disk Active Protection System.
T61 (Intel GM965/GL960 video) 10.3 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png I had some problems with Bluetooth and suspend, not sure what causing it though. I don't use Bluetooth, so I just disabled it and the problem is gone. See more here and here.
T61 (nVidia Quadro NVS 140M video) 10.3 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Does not resume properly after hibernating from runlevel 5. Hibernating from runlevel 3 is ok after following this fix Modem not detected. The Quadro 140M adapter is not XGL compatible, use AIGLX instead for compiz.
T60p SLED10, 10.2 Image:22px-Tick.png only vesa or install the ATI Driver. Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png make sure all ipw3945 drivers & firmware (esp. non-oss) selected during install. ipw3945 kernel module bug in 10.3: go to HCL/Network Adapters (Wireless) for fix. Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Note for openSUSE 10.2: You need at least fglrx 8.32 driver to make it work with xorg 7.2
X30 10.2 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png suspend-to-{disk/ram} both work
X31 10.3 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png
X40 9.3 / 10.0 Image:22px-Tick.png to activate external video, use cloning or use the development driver from fairlite Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png for suspend in 9.3 see /usr/share/doc/packages/
powersave/README.suspend2ram 		SD Slot not working by default, alpha state kernel patches that have been tested on this laptop are available on http://mmc.drzeus.cx/wiki/Linux/Drivers/sdhci, IR not working
X41 10.2/10.3 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png

Hotswapping the ultrabase X4 works (but I seem to need a suspend-to-ram cycle to recognise the CD drive after attaching in 10.3?) The SD card reader works. I've not tried the fingerprint reader.

X60 10.2 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Installation report
X61 10.3 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Nearly everything is supported and works perfectly. Highly recommened! openSUSE 10.3 installation guide
Z61m SLED10 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Advanced mini-dock seems to work well (tested parallel, USB, & DVI-D ports). Upgrade process during install handles video drivers for enabling XGL. Slowness issues make this laptop unusable for long term work.
390X 11.0 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Requires acpi=force on the boot command line P3/500, 384MB RAM
600 E 9.2/9.3/10.0/10.1 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png APM OK, ACPI not supported by BIOS. Sound requires manual config. Best to have a small dos partition so you can use the IBM dos tools to configure hardware.
600X 10.1 Image:22px-Tick.png Had to select display by hand in SaX after killing X11 repeatedly, also TrackPoint mouse Image:22px-Tick.png worked with Netgear FA410TX Image:22px-Tick.png IBM High-Rate Wireless LAN PC (PCMCIA) card works and was configured by YAST to use Orinoco_cs driver Did network install of 10.1 thru netgear card, upgrading from purchased 9.0.
G40 10.0 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Some versions of G40 don't contain wireless network.
Thinkpad 770E 10.2 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Using PCMCIA CNet SinglePoint 10/100 Image:22px-Tick.png P233MMX, 96MB RAM, 4GB HDD, 1024x768x16-bit Installation was painfully slow - over 24 hours, including updates via broadband. Resultant system is significantly slower than original Windows 2000.
Lenovo 3000 N100 10.1 / 10.2 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png external speakers not working Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Ethernet auto-mdi/mdix does not work
Lenovo 3000 N200 10.3 / 11.0 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png ipw3945 kernel module bug in 10.3: go to HCL/Network Adapters (Wireless) for fix. Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Pent. dualCore T2330, Graphic Intel965, NetLinkBCM5906, WLAN IntelPRO 3945 ABG Every thing works with 10.3 with bit of digging. Install and firmwaretest with boot option: 'install=exec:/bin/run_biostest. sounds do not work out of the box, you need to modify the first line in /etc/modprobe.d/sound to "options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo enable=1 index=0" after configuring sound with yast.

Fingerprint reader can be used by following http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page ' (Bug #331531)
