Re: [LAU] How well do thinkpad notebooks work for audio?

The only thing that I found that doesn't work is the fingerprint reader. That doesn't bother me, because I don't even use it when running Windows XP. The other annoying bit was that I needed to install the ATI fglrx driver to get a screen in its native resolution of 1600x1200. Other than that openSuse 10.3 and up have worked without problems, and I am running openSuse 11.1 with KDE 4.2.4 for a while now. I like this laptop, but again, I've never used it for serious music apps. The closest it comes to that is Amarok. Needless to say that works fine.
