I already have a Lenovo Edge model that has the sandybridge graphics that aren't fully supported right now and I'd be surprised if that changes any time soon.
AIUI it won't be a minor fix and I'm not whining about how long it will take. Instead I'm hoping I can pick a Thinkpad that is workable for switching between console and X sessions. I'm looking at a T430 which has the dreaded Nvidia but I don't need all the stuff that is not supported (and probably never will be). If it does X well enough to run a browser in native resolution (1366 x 768) and maybe watch a DVD, I'll be satisfied. Anybody with a clue about the Nvidia in plain-vanilla graphics mode? The wi-fi is the same as the one I already have that 5.2 gives a tick to. The lousy blighters supply a DVD-ROM ;-( Other things to beware of? Thanx, *** NOTE *** Please DO NOT CC me.
