* PCI Express x16
* 256 MB GDDR3-SDRAM video memory

=== Linux X.Org driver ===
Not supported by the Xorg radeon driver

It's a pitty... such a nice card!!!!!!! Yum! Yum!

==== ThinkPad LCD ====
Display on the internal LCD works as long as you set the monitor settings correctly. Changing the driver from "ati" to "vesa" in xorg.conf will start X but with a lower resolution than expected.

Full resolution can be achieved when all modelines are removed and mode 1600x1200 with depth 24 is selected.

==== External VGA port ====
Yes

==== SVideo port ====
No

==== DVI port ====
No (yes on Docking Station, working with [[fglrx]] driver

=== Proprietary ATI driver ===
Proprietary [[fglrx]] driver works since version 8.25.18, version 8.24.8 works by adding "ChipID 0x71c5" to the xorg.conf "Device" statement and fooling it into thinking it's a X1600 mobility.

The new driver 8.25.18 seems to support the card, see
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=1643
(successfully tested with the provided autorun installation script on OpenSuSE 10.1, T60p with 15" display).

(K)ubuntu 6.06 comes with this driver and it works out of the box. However, it seems to have problems with VT Switching (Alt+Fn). Instead of switching to a console, X resets and goes back to the log in screen (This doesn't happen when using the [[vesa]] driver). Also, the pointer gets garbled sometimes in X, but this is only a minor annoyance. Dual Head (Xinerama) also works with this driver, but don't use KDE control center to enable it (use the ATi tool or edit xorg.conf manually)

I have a feeling that this card gets in the way when trying to suspend to RAM (resuming with a complete blank screen, lights are blinking, but that's it), but this can also be caused by other means.

=== Linux kernel Framebuffer driver ===

Not supported.

Rockear: /* ThinkPad T6x series */

=ThinkPad T series=
As successor of the [[ThinkPad_series#ThinkPad_600_series|600 series]], the T series became IBM mobile productivity line. Usually leading the ThinkPad range in technology, innovation and price, the T series was intended for the travelling businessman - comparatively more stylish, functional, and rugged machines; and easy to disassemble for repair or upgrades. T series ThinkPads are clad in black non-slip rubber with embedded glitter. The case lid has tabs along the edge that interlocks with depressions in the lower case when closed, to reduce case flexing.

==ThinkPad T2x series==
The ThinkPad T2x models ([[:Category:T20|T20]], [[:Category:T21|T21]], [[:Category:T22|T22]], [[:Category:T23|T23]]) were [[Intel Mobile Pentium III-M]] based, sub-5 lb (2.3 kg) class machines. These machines typically had 14.1 inch XGA screens, S3 Savage graphics chips and Cirrus Logic sound chips. The T2x series introduced the [[UltraBay|UltraBay 2000]] optical drive bay and titanium-reinforced screen lids. With the T23, an internal WiFi antenna became available, so WiFi miniPCI cards could be used. Also the T23 was the first ThinkPad featuring an [[UltraBay|UltraBay Plus]] drive and [[Embedded Security Subsystem]].

==ThinkPad T3x series==
The T3x series only saw one model, the [[:Category:T30|T30]]. Powered by a [[Intel Mobile Pentium 4-M]] and a Radeon 7500 graphics chip with 16 MB of discrete video memory, the T30 was available with 14.1 inch XGA or SXGA screens. The T30 introduced the [[UltraNav]] touchpad and integrated Bluetooth among ThinkPads. Other features include the [[Embedded Security Subsystem]], [[UltraBay|Ultrabay Plus]] drive, integrated Wireless LAN. The shell is titanium reinforced composite. The whole package was a bit heavier and thicker than both the T2x and the T4x series.

==ThinkPad T4x series==
Includes the T40, T41, T42, T43, and associated "p" series (for "performance"; e.g., T43p). A typical T4x weighs 2.2 kg (4.9 lb), slightly less than the 600 series, and features an [[Intel Pentium M (Dothan)]] Processor, a 14.1 or 15 inch LCD (XGAor SXGA+), an integrated GPU (Intel Graphics Media Adapter 900) or a discrete GPU (Radeon 7500, 9000, Fire GL 9000, 9600, Fire GL T2, X300, and Fire GL V3200), and a hard drive ranging in size from 30 to 100 GB with the Active Protection System to protect the hard drive (T41 and later models). "p" (mobile workstation) models are also available with a 14" SXGA+ or a 15 inch UXGA FlexView display with wide viewing angle and high density IPS technology with resolutions up to 1600x1200. These 15 inch display models weigh slightly more than their lesser brethren, with optical drive and battery, at 2.7 kg (5.9 lb). Some T42 and T43 models feature a biometric security system with built-in fingerprint reader.

==ThinkPad T6x series==
Includes, as of 2006, the T60; intended as the next generation of the T4x Series Thinkpads; this is the first T Series Thinkpad to include the Intel Dual Core "Yonah" Technology.

Rockear: NetBSD note

== Cracking noises ==

hi, made my sound work with alsaconf, but i do have the described cracking noises.

the article reads:

''Possible cracking noises can be avoided by adding the position_fix=2 optional argument for the module.''

how can i do this? i've found the following line in my /etc/modules.conf:

''Possible cracking noises can be avoided by adding the position_fix=2 optional argument for the module.''

what do i have do add or change?

thanks for help!

== NetBSD note ==

I just wanted to mention that disabling the modem in BIOS solved a huge problem I was experiencing with the azalia sound chip in my T60p. With the modem enabled, I was only able to hear sound at less than half-volume through the headphone jack, and barely at the edge of hearing through the speakers. Disabling the modem now allows me to adjust the volume with mixerctl properly.
