Rarely Updated Driver for T6X

#1 Post by lautamas » Sat Nov 24, 2007 1:41 pm

I have been monitoring new device drivers and software for LENOVO's T60 and T61 at the bellow site (Driver Matrices):

T60:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-62928

T61:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-67853

I wonder why Lenovo hasnt updated anything in more than 1 month. See the Last Updated caption at the end of the page. It is said Nov 22 2007. However, I dont see anything updated on the date nor anything in November 2007 at all.

If you have been keeping this page on your eyes everyday, you should now what I mean.

Moreover, the yellow fonts usually indicated the drivers updated in the last 30 days (from the last updated date). However, the site seems to be abandoned.

Anyhow, my point is..I wonder if the page has been changed to another address since I know that the page has been constantly updated at least once a month when I had my T4X series.

Now, the page seems to be abondoned :cry: .

perhaps it's because nothing has been updated or what has been updated is still being tested and not yet ready for public consumption.

unless you're having specific problems with a driver there's no need to update it very often.   and, there's certainly no need to watch the driver matrices on a daily basis, especially when you can have the lenovo system update software do the job for you.

System Update does not pickup the PC-Doctor update (installed version 5.00.4559.00) :(

The xml files takes some time to be written for ThinkVantage System Update, you can update it manually in the meantime.

With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.

Hello,

yes, I am aware of that alternative but it is quite poor that there isn't an automated update in place for System Update itself (Lenovo server side) as this can be easily performed when the relevant Driver Matrices are changed!
