This is a draft on how to get Ubuntu 6.04 on the ThinkPad X41
Enable TrackPoint middle-button scrolling
To use the blue middle TrackPoint button as a scroll wheel (using the red TrackPoint itself to scroll up and down), do the following. In a terminal, enter these commands:
$ sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-original
$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
In the editor, find the section headed Section "InputDevice" / Identifier "Configured Mouse" and add the following lines above the "EndSection" line:
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Save the file. Logout, restart X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, and log in again. Source for this item: Many ThinkPad-related sites, confirmed by experiment.

Suspend to RAM
BUG: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/50031
You need to install this update:
$ wget http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/acpi-support/acpi-support_0.85_i386.deb
$ dpkg -i acpi-support_0.85_i386.deb
After installing this package, the on-screen volume control does not work anymore ... can anyone confirm this. (did a lot of changes to my system, so I do not know if this reason.)
