I am not sure all the driver is compatible?
My thinkpad has IBM wireless 802.11A/B/G. and bluetooth and ATI 64M video card. are this dirver can be installed automatic? can I use in high resolution (1400 by 1050)?
BTW , does Fedora good?

ATI has a separte driver or you can use the 2D driver provided with X. I dont see why 1400x1050 would not work.
Open /etc/X11/xor.conf , add the line 1400x1050 to resolution section. Restart X.
Everything should work with that machine, there are a ton of thinkpad-linux sites out there. Look over these links, they should provide you with everything you need to get Fedora running.

Yeah that's the setup I have. With the drivers from ATI the performance is very good, 1400x1050 works fine, the only thing I haven't gotten working and haven't tried to get working is bluetooth.
