Model
Lenovo Thinkpad R61 8919-6VG, BIOS 7KETC6WW (2.26)
General
This installation instruction describes these parts that do not or do not completely work after my OpenSUSE 11.2 Final DVD installation using KDE 4.3.5 as window manager. If anything does not work as expected, please have a look at the older Installation of OpenSUSE 11.1 on a ThinkPad R61 for possible workarounds that I forgot to mention here.
Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M
To install and configure the NVIDIA driver, follow the instructions of the openSUSE Wiki [1]. As an alternative, add the NVIDIA Repository via Software, Software Repositories, Add, Community Repositories in YaST.
TouchPad
I do not use the TouchPad, thus, I disabled it in the BIOS settings.
Trackpoint
SaX configures the Trackpoint in a way that it can be used to perform scrolling, similar to Windows.
Power Management
Suspend to RAM works out of the box.
TODO

However, resuming from Suspend to Disk takes about 1 or 2 minutes while displaying a black screen.

Integrated Fingerprint Reader
The Integrated Fingerprint Reader is a UPEK TouchStrip (USB vendor ID 0x147e). But the driver is only included in the development version of libfprint. Since the current release 0.0.6 is provided by the distribution, the reader does not work.
