Learned a lot from the list, just a short report about my new T61.
Information about this notebook:
Lenovo ThinkPad T61 T8100 WXP
Core 2 Duo 2.10GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD,
15.4" WXGA (1280x800), DVD-R/+R DL,
Intel GMA X3100 Shared Memory, GB-LAN,
WLAN 802.11n, Modem, Bluetooth,
Windows XP Professional
It was installed with windows xp, so booted the ecs 2.0 rc 5 cd, shrinked the harddisk (did first a optimalisation of the hard disk in windows xp ) from the 160 GB, 80 still remains for windows (couldn't shrink windows
more)
Ecs installed without a problem.
no sound at first, but network works.
read in the list about the sound, so installed that according and it works, with the latest drives from Paul very good.
Maybe a bit strange, but also system sounds works good. (yes even on boot, no problem).
ACpi works with the switches /SMP /APIC /vbe /r
using the latest bios which is available from lenovo version 2.24
In short great machine, but with a few problems:
-mac address of wired interface is always 00:00:00:00, that's a problem at school, because there are managed switches so no working network at school (at home no problem). Wirelless works great, but also not at
school because of no support for 802.1x
- no working keys for sound, but with global keys from xworkplace and cmd files I can put the sound of, (one key) other key I use for initialising sound again, and the key for more sound is linked to the volume object.
(so it works )
- no possibility to switch to external screen of to switch brightness. Contacted the makes of escheme which also make crc (central remote control), but at the moment no support for t61, I waiting for something to test.
- suspend won't work, machine goes into suspend, but won't wake-up.
- the dos tool for connecting to the bios works as on the t40, but nothing happens after changing something.
- no sound of the cd-player when an audio cd is used.(don't know why)
