[ltp] XFree86-4.1.0 + KDE 2.2 on T22 ... very nice!

[Tod Harter]

I just installed Mandrake 8.0 on my Thinkpad A20p

Its not quite as up to date as you are, KDE 2.1.1 and XFree86 4.0.3, but man 
is it nice. This distro has a VERY much improved setup, management tools, 
stability, etc vs any other desktop based distribution, and for KDE users its 
great because Mandrake gives you are very well built KDE install and 
configuration, unlike Red Hat where KDE is an afterthought. 

So for those wanting to get a good X environment on their thinkpad, this 
seems to be a good way to go. The ONLY bug I ran into so far was the 
trackpoint not being recognized due to kernel bug in 2.4.3 kernel. I just 
installed a stock 2.4.9 kernel with no trouble, and this is a well documented 
bug. Mandrake will let you go with a 2.2 series kernel if you aren't into 
building your own ;o).
