		+	Update 2010: One of the reasons why I bought this machine was its supposed durability. After a few years I must say I am quite disappointed with it. I carried it around a lot, and the chassis started breacking in several points after only a few months. This is not really a problem as it's not falling apart. The real problem came more recently, in the last year or so. The machine started having some erratic behavior which I suppose to be related to some of the hardware failing: I often get kernel panics (machine freezes, caps lock blinking), and sometimes when I boot either the screen and/or the disk will not work: the led is on but nothing else happens. I still could not identify the problem though (any ideas?).

 which is the real hibernate script. This solved the problem.
 **This time the wireless switch works out of the box, but if I press volume keys kmilo decides that I also want to start kmix and change its master volume as well, together with {{path|/proc/acpi/ibm/volume}}. I found I can suppress this by pressing {{key|Shift}}. Solution: I found out that the keys were interpreted both by [[ibm-acpi|acpi]] and by [[X]]. I just undefined them in my [[User:Piccobello/Gutsy/Xmodmap|.Xmodmap]].
 **I decided to use an ACPI key combination to restart [[X]], as sometimes everything freezes, keybord included, but {{key|Fn}} key combinations as brightness, thinklight, still work. So I added a simple executable script {{path|/etc/acpi/killx.sh}}, simply executing killall Xorg, and changed the action in {{path|/etc/acpi/events/thinkpad-zoom}} to be
   action=/etc/acpi/killx.sh
 I also set the action in kmilo-thinkpad (Settings -> System Administration -> IBM Thinkpad Laptop).
