I made a few short posts about setting up different parts of the ThinkPad, so just type in “Thinkpad” into the search box in the upper right corner and you should be set.

Is there a HOWTO or blog that names all of the several tablet oriented packages? With all of the feature buttons, stylus, handwriting, screen rotation and touch possibilities, (and since Emperor claims that they all work) there must be packages I need to track down and understand. ~~~ Dan 0;-D Austin, Texas USA Once I wrap up this quarter of school, I plan to load “the latest” Ubuntu (Hardy Heron?).

Doctoral work has kept me from spending time to add linux to the as-built WinXP Tablet install. I've heard and read rumors that recent win-dose patches (1) detect a dual boot config, and (2) make trouble of various sorts. Are you aware of this sort of thing. I have 2GB RAM and the multi-touch display (std res with tablet and touch vs. high res with tablet only). I also have the ultrabase with DVD RW and extra SATA drive. I'd love to abandon win-dose, but some of my school work demands that platform. Over the summer, I hope to get those tools running under WINE or similar. ~~~ Dan 0;-D Austin Texas USA Karol,

I think I have the 8cell battery (got it long time ago, so I forgot), and the battery life on it is around 3.5 hours. Hey,

And which battery are you using? Do you still have a problem with the backlight after resume in more recent versions of Hardy? I'm considering buying an X61 Tablet so I'm trying to gather as much info about it as possible. Thanks for your posts about it, they've been very enlightening. Hi
