Hello,

I've now got my new T40 working fairly well using Linux - unfortunately I
don't have time to write a detailed step-by-step guide, but here are some
notes about my setup:

I hope that this will be of help for anyone else who also wants to get
Linux running on this model - getting the kernel and X11 running properly
was rather painful :-/

Any help on the remaining unsupported hardware would be very much
appreciated:

- the machine crashes frequently when waking up from resume, and I
  couldn't get hibernate to work at all

- the builtin IBM 802.11a/b WiFi card isn't supported AFAIK

Also, I don't really understand the hide-and-seek game the predesktop
partition is playing...

I haven't tried out the modem yet, but that's not a high priority for me.

-Klaus
