Wow, I'm surprised to hear this.  What distro are you running?

I have a T410s running Kubuntu 12.04.x (since release and moving up with
the minor versions)

Suspend has worked well for me, though I suspect I have the known battery
drain problem that I haven't troubleshot.

Sound has not been an issue, quirks of complicated multi-sync and -source
pulseaudio configurations notwithstanding.

I have had some issues, mostly with X and KDE failing that i suspect is the
fault of either them or the driver for the Intel integrated graphics, and
with occasional kernel panics I haven't debugged.

I'm curious if others have smoothed out rough edges like mine or Mark's?

Regards,
Sean
