		+	== Does the X200 really support 8GB RAM? ==
		+
		+	I was wondering if it really supports 8GB RAM. The wiki article says:
		+	Support for up to 8GB DDR3-RAM PC3-8500
		+
		+	But I don't see that specification in any Lenovo site or document. It would be strange if they did not advertise this.

		+	== What is the "perfect" desktop kernel .config for the X200? ==
		+
		+	I'm trying to set up the "perfect" kernel configuration for the X200 when hardware is concerned. Questions like whether or not it should be compiled with legacy IDE support spring to mind, as well as how to take out all drivers and options for hardware not found on the box...
		+
		+	I know running a stock distribution kernel is the recommended way, but where's the fun and learning process in that? For those who want a deeper understanding, kernel tweaking seems to be one of multiple answers.

 ::I mentioned i810 but that is just the package name on Fedora which includes the "intel" driver which is being loaded to operate the card when I tried it. It works after reboot but crashes after suspend/resume and hibernate/resume and there is a bug in the Fedora bugzilla (for rawhide/Fedora 10) already with multiple reporters for Thinkpad X200 models.
-::Rdemeria: Are you using the vesa driver? I think the backlight works after suspend with the vesa xorg driver, if the i915 kernel module is loaded so it handles power management... however, I have not done enough cycles to be sure everything is reliable. I still have crashes on resume if I use the intel xorg driver. I use vesa and have modprobe i915 in my rc.local.

 ::Harrisonts: I wrote up a hardware issue in the known problems page. I had to have my X200 mainboard replaced, to make it stop resuming immediately from suspend, hibernate, and poweroff actions. It was painful to get through the layers of Lenovo tech support to do this, having to convince each person over again that there was a problem!
