Public bug reported:
Just got a brand new Thinkpad T61P today, and because it's so new, the
drivers with feisty have been having some trouble on it (as is
expected). This bug is about the video hardware, which is nvidia-based.
The laptop graphics hardware is indeed nvidia-based. lspci says this:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 040c (rev
a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA])

The installer (and sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver) detects this
hardware and attempts to use the "nv" driver, which doesn't work. I
figured I could install the nvidia-glx package to get X up with the
"nvidia" driver. Unfortunately, this fails. Somehow, the nvidia_new
module is getting loaded, even when "modprobe nvidia" is manually
called.

Also, if I install the nvidia-glx-new package, starting X hangs the computer,
requiring a full power off (holding the power button).
And for anyone with this laptop trying to get X up, the "vesa" driver
works very well enough for most 2D work. I'm using it at 1920x1200. Xv
and 3D are of course off limits, but most desktop apps function just
fine.
