I have almost the same laptop, although mine is a T60-2623-D6U not sure how that changes things but I also installed Ubuntu Edgy 6.10.

I think that the 3D acceleration works, I just installed a fglrx driver. I'll post more info when I get a chance to boot back into Ubuntu. I remember that there was a note in the guide that I followed about a potential problem that could cause 3D to not work, I'll also send a link to that article at the same time.

But I can not found how-to to install the:

I found the driver and software for Suse Linux from IBM:

I wont install this drivers and software and work the Fingersprint, Bluethood and hibernate.
I haven't tried the fingerprint reader or infrared yet (I don't have any infrared devices) but I do have the standby, hibernate and bluetooth working, in fact they all worked out of the box for me.
What problems are you having with Hibernate? Have you tried standby? Are you sure that you have running Ubuntu with the latest updates?
I haven't had any problems getting the laptop to go into either suspend or hibernate mode from the menus (I haven't tried fn+F12 or fn+F4.) It does take longer to both hibernate and suspend under Ubuntu that it does in Windows however it is still pretty quick. Its also not as good at telling you its progress and I powered off a very slow standby the first time until I realized that I was just too impatient.
Bluetooth does work but is not as inutitive as the windows method.
I must mention that I only have a bluetooth mouse (Logitech v270) to test against. It doesn't have a PIN so the following instructions will likely be a little bit different for you if yours does have a pin.
If you are trying to connect a bluetooth HID device it's disabled by default (in a configuration file). To enable HID support you need to modify a file called: /etc/default/bluetooth that has a flag of ENABLE_HIDD or something similar set to false (or 0.) You will need to set that to true, then restart bluez (the bluetooth stack.)
After this you should be able to use the command 'sudo hidd --search' to locate your device. You may have to press the connect or reset button on your bluetooth device at this time to connect. It should discover the Bluetooth Address and automatically connect to the device.
A special note about this, is that this does not permanently associate the device with your laptop, but only until the device or laptop is shutdown or one their bluetooth stacks get restarted.
In terms of enabling your laptop to auto-connect to the bluetooth device on boot (or when the device is turned on) just replace HIDD_OPTIONS with the following:
HIDD_OPTIONS="--connect aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff --server"
Now if you want to auto-connect to multiple devices I believe you just add more --connect aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff lines before the --server (although I cannot confirm this.)
I've succesfully connected with a Logictech V270 bluetooth mouse on Ubuntu Linux 6.10 without downloading or installing any drivers.
For any other feature that you need I'd suggest that you visit the site
www.thinkwiki.org as NeoMatrix suggested. Its really a good place to go to figure out what does work on the various ThinkPads under Linux. Some of the instructions may be different depending on the Distribution of a lot will still be the same or similar.
Hope this helps, if you need more help with the 3D, bluetooth or standby just ask.
Brad.
