Thinkpad T30 Specs

[arief_mulya]

Dear all,



As the laptop arrives just now, I'm preparing to install a Sarge on it. I've already done repartition. [Why does IBM need to use that 3 Gigs for recovery anyway...] Still keeping winXP and that IBM recovery partition.

Btw, This is a brand new laptop, and I already eXPerience that BSOD shit, with the so called stable and enhanced WinXP ;-P What did I do? I just put a LAN cable from the currently running laptop to it, hoping the DHCP would work and I can connect to Internet, but instead got a reboot ;-) Well, at least now they tell me what happened (turn out to be some problem on the ATI Radeon Driver).

Anyway, this is the specs of my T30, I'm planning to put sarge on it, but I do like to have some more advice on this.

- Intel P4-M 1.9GHz w/ 256 MiB
- ATI Mobility Radeon 7500
- MATSHITA DVD-ROM SR-8177
- IBM ThinkPad FIR Port
- SoundCard: SoundMAX ?? (what's this exactly?)
- Agere Systems AC'97 Modems
- Intel PRO/100 VE ethernet card
- ACPI
- USB
- IBM ThinkNav for mouse navigations

What I like to know is:
1. Are those hardware currently supported?
2. Which kernel/software needed?
3. Are there any special settings for this Thinkpad?
4. Does IBM Fn keys works with Linux (I know that with Toshiba it work if toshiba kernel support enabled, and with Dell Latitude it also work without enabling anything)

I've check Linux-Laptop website, and still searching there to gathered more information on this.

I really appreciate any advice given. If you need more info just let me know...

For friends at debian-laptop@ please CC'd me directly.


Thanks!
Best Regards,
