My older ThinkPad T40p works well with Lenny. The media keys work, as does the screen brightness controls, etc. USB works, as does the wired Ethernet. I haven't tried the modem, and it doesn't have a fingerprint scanner. ATI video and sound work. Suspend to RAM and Hibernate work fine. I swapped the Wi-Fi card for an Intel model, the existing Atheros-based one wasn't working. I don't know if the card was bad, or just not well supported, since I got the laptop used. But the new card works just fine. Hope this helps! -- Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
