- USB 2.0 ports
- TrackPoint detection
What needs to be fixed
- Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (Fixed)
- Suspend to RAM / Sleep -> seems to work when putting sata into "compatibility" mode in the bios.
- Suspend to HDD / Hibernate
- External VGA port (Partially fixed)
- Hard drive protection (IBM Active Protection System) (Partially fixed)
What has not yet been tested

Ubuntu Guide now covers this issue: How to get ipw3945 and wep/wpa to work
External VGA port
Ubuntu's auto-configured xorg.conf doesn't use the X60's external VGA port by default. This means that either another configuration utility must be used, or xorg.conf must be edited by hand. So far I haven't had any luck with Kubuntu's System Settings utility, so here I'm looking at direct changes to xorg.conf.
Auto-configured xorg.conf for reference
This only activates the X60's LCD, and does not use the external VGA port.
