I have ordered a T61p with penryn cpu. I will have it in my hands next week.

I really wish someone will help us to solve the minor problem of graphics card support for our notebook.

3945abg,any solution??

[ROMAN1]

No.  Networking and graphics both don't work.

Has anyone ever looked into tweaking the 570m bios to work with the 8600m kext? Maybe reflashing it with a modified 8600m bios?

[Focher]

I suspect that you won't see support for the Intel wireless 3945abg adapter. That's why I went ahead and replaced it with the Thinkpad 802.11abg mini PCI adapter. It's easy, just lift the keyboard and the Intel adapter is in a mini PCI slot. Take it out and pop the new one in. I haven't seen any functionality missing between the two anyway.

The big problem is the graphics card support. Without graphic card support installing Leopard is useless.

This *should* be doable, but I am not a BIOS guy. Better to ask the nvinject forums since gotoh could potentially help....

[kytzu]

does anyone managed to get qe/ci on T61? (NVS 140M card)

[thinkmacky]

using Kalyway 10.54 -  Plain Vanilla Kernel - Installation flawless  & straightforward .
Working Vesa 1024 x 768 Driver  + Wireless 54 G (OS recognized as native Airport ) .

It would be great if I could get the Fx 570 M to work !


Not Working -  Sound



------------------

T61P - WSXGA+, Core 2 Duo T7500, 4 GB  DDR2-667 RAM, 100 GB 7200RPM HDD, NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M 256MB, Thinkpad ABGN Wireless

[resonance]

T61 using Kalyway 10.5.2
all std ticks by default, except removed the extra languages

X3100 - perfect - qe/ci , 1280x800 display
LAN - not working
Wifi - not working
Bluetooth - perfect
Firewire - perfect

As this is a work laptop, I cannot change any components from std, but looking to buy a lan card/wifi dongle that could work.

Any suggestions?

Thinkpad a/b/g wlan working perfectly

sound - half works.

140 m graphics. nope.

kalyway 10.5.2 + 10.5.3 update w/ vanilla 9.3 kernel

ahh nice, I've got sound working too, now if we could just figured out this video problem we'd be set.  It seems like it so close to working, boots all the way up, no errors and bam black screen.

intel wifi no chance
atheros wifi works if you change devid in IO8.....kext. i saw on some forums that is posible to have one on pci-e mini on lenovo t61
another solution is wifi or lan on usb port

Are you talking about 140 card or 570M.

Im highly interested about a solution for full support for my 570M graphics card.

If you have any news , keep us informed.

[Jeezoflip]

ahhH!! got the sound working today! im happy!

I've got the 570m but the 140m has the same problem, so I think a solution for either one will ultimately fix both.

[Looter]

I really have no idea if someone is working to fix it at the moment.

Do you know something more like when we can expect something ?


Please inform me if you have any news.
