[ltp] new Notebook, X60?

[john]

I just bought the pricey X60s model 170466U from lenevo direct and I am
very happy.  This one has the 8cell battery and I am seeing 5+ hours
with wireless. (freq scaling on)  
The atheros wireless works great
Docking station seems to work okay, I don't use it but usb/network/dvd
works fine.  (I haven't tried the cd writer yet)

Note that hibernate/sleep will not work out of the box.
