its working right out of the box... i just had to install the ati drivers properly and its working and its reaaaally nice;)

Here's another site that helped me:

Granted, it's for a T60 but I used it to get the fingerprint reader working (I don't think your z61t has one, but correct me if I'm wrong) and enable a lot of the keyboard features. For example, every time I press the Thinkvantage button a terminal opens (very handy!). I think the guide covers modem/fax but I didn't look at that part.

kde desktop is crashin on z61t with xgl and beryl with open suse 10.2. i guess integrated video card on these cant handle it. tried to install it many times. Lemme me know if i am doing anything wrong.
