<p>Sidelnik: </p> <hr /> <div>This is on a 14.1&quot; T61P<br /> <br /> * '''Intel 4965 wireless''' : Works, but you need to compile the [http://intellinuxwireless.org/ Intel Wireless Drivers] yourself.<br /> * '''Nvidia Quadro FX 57M''' : Works, but you need to download the driver from [http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html Nvidia].<br /> * '''Fingerprint reader''' : Works mostly with [http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net/ Thinkfinger]. It's a major pain doing an ''--aquire'' or ''--add-user'' without getting usb_bulk_read errors. Just keep trying and it will eventually work.<br /> * '''Brightness keys''' : Does not work when using Xorg + nVidia drivers. Works just fine from the VT.<br /> * '''Sound''' : Works using the Alsa CVS patch fix that others have used for the T61.<br /> * '''Suspend to ram''' : Works partially. Had to use [http://sourceforge.net/projects/suspend s2ram] with ''-f -a2''. Resuming into Xorg fails (blank white screen) when using Beryl/Compiz Fusion.<br /> * '''Suspend to disk''' : Needed to add resume=''your swap device''. Resume into Xorg fails (backlight is on, but nothing appears) when the nVidia driver is loaded.<br /> <br /> Moral of story is that the nVidia drivers are pretty buggy when dealing with suspend/restore.</div>
