Description:
|
IBM just keeps making good machines.
T22 specs:
14.1 TFT
P3 900Mhz
256Mb RAM
DVD
20Gb drive
onboard eepro100 nic
2x pcmcia slots
Stock supported for NIC, sound, USB, pcmcia, etc...
Exceptions to that:
Video, the stock XFree driver apparently isn't that hot, the S3 Savage apparently is an annoying card:
http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html
This has an XFree86 driver that'll do everything short of 3d and give you up to a 1400-something x alot, gotta add in a horiz+vert range into the Monitor section of the XF86Config file as this driver and the stock one hork all over DPMS:
HorizSync 30-70
VertRefresh 50-90
Is nice and conservative.
The modem, typical Lucent LT winmodem:

Haven't tried the modem, don't intend to.
Haven't tried the port replicator or power save modes under acpi yet.
Any questions? Feel free to mail me through the forums.

Nimble finally barfed and died one night, leading to a frantic day and a half with a multimeter... yeah, dead. An ebay'ing turned this up for just shy of $600. Here's the reasons you should think of getting a used thinkpad:
They're tanks, they depreciate in cost just as quickly as an HP or a Dell, maybe even a Viao, but you get a much hardier machine as the thing was way IBM overpriced when it was new.
Stock parts, TI cardbuses, normal USB bridges, stock sound cards... aside from the annoying S3 video card in here this is all just smaller desktop standard fair.
Cheers,
Finegan

Okay the above linmodem link works.
I got bored and tried it...
Also the one downshot to ACPI, I can only get the minimal cpufreq support under the depricated /proc interface settings, instead of the /sys structure, so I'm back to 2.4 until speedstep will load right. From what I've read this is a sticking point accross the board. Great, now all the ACPI support in the world... and the battery winds down in an hour because cpufreqd doesn't have enough power modes to play with.
Cheers,
Finegan
P.S. And ironically after 4 hours and a little time with a soldering iron and Nimble is back... running OpenBSD for the time being. Go figure.

Absolutely wonderful. For FreeBSD at least. I originally tried to install NetBSD 2.0 on it and ran into trouble with the sound card support. But FreeBSD is wonderful.
I have been playing with it pretty much constantly since it arrived and have to say it is great. Sound works, the dvd player is great, and the video was not as hard to setup as some people might imply it was. Of course, I'm using a 1240x780 display which is lower then some people prefer.
But overall the support for this laptop is great. I haven't tried the modem -- and I doubt I should ever need to.
I love this little laptop and am glad I finally broke down and ordered it.

To my knowledge it's the same laptop (different CPU and possibly nic) with T20 and T21
