An update regarding my progress with the x300.

Most things work out of the box (opensuse 10.3 Live KDE). The install
went fine. The laptop is very responsive and feels "snappy".

The downside is that sound doesn't work (there is a thread about that
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=58916&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=&sid=be801e5c2c750b9eb326a6270a0720dc).
I've not been able to get sound working yet.

I cannot set the brightness using the FN keys - no solution yet.
Suspend to disk or RAM doesn't work - The same link as above had some
suggestions for resolving that.

The built in webcam doesn't work - I've not fix this yet.

Anyways, if you had any luck with these issues - please let me know how
you got it resolved.

I would love to have a fully functional opensuse install on the laptop.

Cheers

Wodans
