I'm still pretty new to this matter, but it seems that
after certain kinds of failed bios upgrades, the T400
can be rescued using a usb flash drive and a working
XP/W7 machine.

Hi everyone, so I managed to unlock my ssd on a friend's t60. After considering numerous options I'm now leaning towards purchasing a T 4 00. The 500 is just a bit too big and heavy and I think I can get along with 1440x900 just fine. The old (well, not that old) battery of my T60 will sure find a g...

Hi Tasurinchi, thanks for your reply. you're right, I shouldn't worry about the RAM too much. Most used machines today come with at least 3gigs anyway, which is what I had in the old one. It's a 4:3 14.1" model. About the graphics, I'd honestly say that the occasional flash video is the most gpu int...

.. hi there, it's been a while since I last entered these forums. No news is good news, I guess :wink: So, after 7,5 years of daily use, my screen went white, and after restarting, there is no chance of bringing it back to life. After pressing the power button, the fan spins for 2 seconds and stops ...

I'm using a nano 3g (reformatted to fat32) + rhythmbox without problems. I get occasional cover syncing hiccups indeed, but overall, that aspect works well too. I once tried gtkpod, but it was so slow that simply connecting the player froze the entire application for ~2 minutes. But maybe this got f...

That's a nice one. Thanks.

I actually still got some of the listed bmps,
if you pm me your email adress, I can send you a zip.

Can I simply remove one of the 512 MB chips and add the 2 GB chip for a total of 2.5 GB?

Yes, that'll work fine. I'm using 2GB crucial + 512 MB samsung memory without any problems.
I have the 2GB stick in the lower slot, but it should work either way.

afaik, most of the early t60 adapters only had the 'thinkpad' string.
Been using one of these, that came with a new t60, for 5 years now.

Whoa, I didn't see these coming. A pen-capable android system
would indeed be perfect for me and I'm intrigued by the optional
keyboard. Can't wait for the first reviews!

Thanks everyone.

The title says it all.. I want to connect an old laserjet to a t60
and had no luck with any of the usb-to-lpt adapters so far (the printer
works fine on another pc). Could I hook it up using an advanced
mini dock without issues?

haha, thanks for this.. I crawled through those rpms too but couldnt
find that particular wallpaper neither. Looks good

sorry I can't help, but judging by the photo on http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovo-t ... n/#4134398 ,
the context menu key also seems to be missing on us layouts.. weird.

You don't have to manually start empathy to receive and reply to incoming IM's. Right now there is no GUI to initiate new IM conversations in the gnome shell, but this is going to change in the next version. For now, you have to use empathy to initiate new IM conversations. Thanks for this insight....

https://github.com/simon04/gnome-shell-extension-weather looks like a nice weather extension is in the make.. hooray :) Also, I recommend trying out some of the gnome-shell-extensions-* packages. The gnome-shell-extensions-places-menu extension is by far my favourite as it really adds missing functi...

Thanks for this, forecastfox is pretty nice. I hope I'll also find a solution outside firefox soon (a solution like the old applet would be ideal, or maybe a desktop applet as in kde4). Del key behaviour within nautillus has changed. Now you have to press ctrl+del to delete files. I used the hint on...

Just upgraded from F14 on my T60 using the preupgrade method without a hitch. Booting seems a little faster, performance in Firefox 4 a little sluggish.. just typing this message, it uses around 40% CPU. I might give chromium a try soon. I had to re-enable trackpoint scrolling using the xorg.conf.d ...

Sorry about that. The link should work now.

The title says it all - if anyone could point me to the default red hat 6 desktop wallpapers, or the name of the rpm-package containing them, it'd be much appreciated. I don't want to download the whole distro just to extract some jpgs.. :| In particular, I'd be interested in the wallpaper pictured ...

There's an ongoing development of power-saving features in the radeon/radeonhd drivers. The basic framework was added in 2.6.35, though I failed to use it with that kernel. Use 2.6.36 - or better - the latest stable/rc kernel. See ie. http://www.overclock.net/linux-unix/731469-how-power-saving-rade...

Don't know about the x22, but on my t60, F12 during startup brings up a boot device selection regardless of the bios boot order.

I don't have experience with mepis but on recent kernels, the stock mesa drivers are working very well with my x1300 (I currently have 2.6.35) including 3D. According to distrowatch, mepis 8.5 still has a 2.6.32 kernel where mesa might indeed act a little bumpy. For me, vesa would be no option, the ...

With previous versions, one could edit the xorg.conf file and set the AGP mode to 4X. However, in version 10.10, there is no xorg.conf file anymore. I'd suggest manually creating a 'new' xorg.conf including only the relevant parts, overriding the defaults. At least this used to work some releases a...

Nice! I think I spot a ubuntu install there. How well is it managing the touch screen capabilities?

Interesting, thanks. According to phoronix, the patch will be in 2.6.38 at the earliest.

I have to admit I'm pretty intrigued by this machine.

This may be a pretty vague theory, but I remember some older posts on this board about the stock burning software (sonic recordnow) not being able to burn bios update discs properly, requiring an update from the lenovo website. But I don't know If you used recordnow or even whether the x200 still ha...

I think informing lenovo about the 'quality' of the repair guy's work might be a good thing to do.

Nice interview! Thanks for posting.
