Currently does not work. Computer will go into suspend mode by hitting Fn+F4, but then fails to "wake up," when Fn key is hit to resume. This issue, however, is being addressed, and will hopefully be resolved in time for the actual dapper release.
Graphics Acceleration
The X60 series has a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. This card is supported natively in the version of X.Org installed by Ubuntu.
Sound
In Volume Control go to Edit then Preferences. Check "Front Track" to make it visible. Unmute and turn up volume on Front slider.
Bluetooth
