My T41 (Radeon 7500) and T60 widescreen (Intel 950) both work wonderfully in Fedora too, with fully open drivers.

Lenovo Launches Linux Laptop and Leaves Lots of Questions (eWeek) Posted Feb 21, 2008 15:04 UTC (Thu) by SiliconSlick (subscriber, #39955) [Link] I recently installed CentOS 5.1 on the bosses X60s and, for the most part, it just works (at least well enough for him, which isn't always easy). However, CentOS didn't come with tp_smapi or the configure-trackpoint packages from http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/ so I had to add those afterwards (along with an init script to rebuild tp_smapi module on kernel upgrades). The only thing not currently working is hard disk parking via HDAPS due to the needed kernel patch (I'd prefer to stick with the latest CentOS kernels for security updates and I won't necessarily have time to patch the kernel RPM with the disk parking code each time an update is released). http://ThinkWiki.org ROCKS! Couldn't have accomplished the install in a timely manner without them.

I also snagged/rebuilt the thinkfinger RPM from Fedora Extras that wasn't included with CentOS, but that was mostly trivial.
