Hi, I'm new here. I just got a T61, and discovered that the instructions for enabling the trackpoint which worked for 7.10 no longer work in 8.04. This seems to be due to the change to X.org 7.3. Does someone want to add that to the page, or know of a fix? Zedlander 07:56, 6 April 2008 (CEST)

Trackpoint

The trackpoint seems to be working in the latest beta on my T61 without issue.

Article purpose

Should this article be divided into an upgrade section and a fresh install section? Should there be an upgrade article and a fresh install article?

Hibernation

As for me there is a big problem with hibernation on Nvidia enabled Thinkpads. After resume, screen is covered with black and green patteren with a half of the slash screen in the background.. After 30 s computer reboots. This issue still persists under stable 8.04 (I'm using hardy from tribe 4).

It is mentioned[1] that the new 173.08 Nvidia driver does solve the hibernate problem, however since it is a beta driver, it will not be included in EnvyNG, so anyone who want to try it out need to install the driver manually.
