It now sends to this page for more information on availability of DVI pass-through on different ThinkPad models:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-72148

This page has a table that clearly says the DVI is supported on T60 with Intel graphics.

Funny thing is, the table at the bottom of the dock page still says "ThinkPad T60, T60p (14 inch and 15 inch standard)
Note: Integrated graphics models support all docking functions except DVI-D."
I tried to contact the support some time after I posted this but they weren't very helpful. I don't know if that was what caused it but the dock page has been updated shortly after and now the two pages don't contradict each other.

As a result, we finally have an official confirmation that all T60 with integrated graphics indeed support DVI on the dock.

The integrated video card support DVI-D, but only up to 1680x1050. It does not support 1920x1200 and above through DVI-D. But D-Sub does.
Good to know for certain. I'm in the same boat.
