I have a T60 too, with 2.6.17.6. I started to work on it with this
configuration:
http://vizzzion.org/stuff/thinkpad-t60/config-2.6.17-rc5.gz
And then I disabled framebuffer (I don't need it). If you want I can
send my .config, or you can start to work with that one.

Your problem seems to be in "Console configuration", as I had this
problem long time ago with other hardware :-) but I don't remember the
exact option.
