Hi, Paul...
A couple things come to mind:
Power management & GenMAC
Which Win32 driver is in your wrapper directory? I updated some a while
back, but I'd have to look to see if the few I submitted cover the T60 (I
believe they do/did). Try turning off all power mgmt on the system. Check
the BIOS & embedded controller firmware versions against the latest
available from Lenovo.
If you do swap video drivers, remember that the SDD helper driver improves
Panorama performance by several orders of magnitude, & appears to be safe
(by all accounts thusfar, AFAIK).
If a brainstorm hits, I'll follow up ASAP.
G'day!
