My brand-new T61p is 1920x1200 without a glossy screen, and it runs
bee-yootiful with Ubuntu, straight out of the box. EVERYTHING just
worked perfectly (nvidia drivers autodetected, suspend/resume,
hibernate, sound and wireless). 

I even set it up from the start with an encrypted rootfs, where the
encrypted partition is an LVM VG which contains 3 individual LVs. No
problems at all with that configuration. Partition authentication is
seamlessly integrated with usplash now as well. 

If this machine had the "glossy" screen, I would have immediately sent
it back without even powering it on for the very first time.
