I'm running on a ThinkPad X41. It has the following issues:
- The headphone jack stops working after the second suspend-to-ram after a fresh reboot. The only way to get it working again (without rebooting) is to suspend-to-disk (hibernate). It will then work until after the next time I wake from suspend-to-ram.
- I'm still on Jaunty, but the last couple of revisions of Ubuntu failed to correctly detect and set-up scrolling on my TrackPoint. Prior to the move to evdev, it worked out of the box. There are various write-ups on ubuntuforums.org and blog posts about the fix, but IIRC as of 9.10 it still wasn't in the default install. It may be working now.
- Both the Cardbus slot and the SD reader slot work out of the box, but they seem to have IRQ issues. Reading data off of either slot (the only cardbus card I have is a CompactFlash reader) causes the system to slow to a crawl with hte mouse jerking all over the place and windows refreshing at a snail's pace.
- The mute button only mutes. Pressing it a second time does not unmute the audio. I suspect this is as the BIOS level, but GNOME sees the second press and thinks that the sound is un-muted, and thus reports sound as un-muted. (The only way to un-mute is to hit the volume up or down buttons)
All of that said my biggest gripes with the X41 are the lack of a working headphone jack, and the fact that IBM didn't use a standard 2.5" hard drive. I'm stuck with a max of 60GB of space due to their usage of non-standard 1.8" hard drives.
