Just got a new laptop, a Thinkpad T410. It's quite nice, and a review will be forthcoming, but for now, here's what you need to know to install Linux on it:
This post will be updated as I continue working.
Xubuntu 9.10 (Karmic)
Bluetooth: Not yet tested
Graphics: Mine has switchable graphics. It appears that the Nvidia card is automatically used, and this works fine right out of the box, though a restricted driver is available.
Touchpad: No multitouch, other than that, works fine
Wireless: Requires install of linux-backports-modules-karmic, see http://www.linux-archive.org/ubuntu-kernel-team/295421-fix-iwl6000-does-not-work-2-6-31-kernel.html
Hotkeys: Brightness, ThinkLight, Wireless on/off, touchpad/trackpoint work fine.
Suspend/Resume: Suspends fine, freezes on resume.
Fingerprint reader: Does not appear to be supported by ThinkFinger. It is a "Upek Biometric Touchchip/Touchstrip Fingerprint Sensor" where Thinkfinger only supports the older SGS hardware. Will work more later.
Will work more and update this post.
