I compiled the kernel, pcmcia, alsa and tpctl modules with kernel package. I patched with UDMA/IDE patches and ext3. Binary .debs are available here:
I havent tried USB yet although i have some USB devices but i dont expect big problems as i had no problems on my 390E and the usb-uhci driver loads and detects the USB port as expected.

To get full 1400x1050 on the Console with 175x65 you need
to set the Vesa mode in the lilo.conf via "vga=0x33b" which
is 1400x1050x8. If you would like to run with 16 or 24 Bit
you will need to use other modes which are probable via
lfb.exe a small dos utility which lists the
available VESA modes. To get better scrolling performance
on the console you might also give additional parameters to
the vesa framebuffer. I am using
vga=0x33b append="video=vesa:mtrr"in my lilo.conf
The Card is completely supported by the XFree 3.3.6 SVGA server and should be supported from XFree 4.0.2 on but i haven't tried that. I am using this XF86Config for the XFree86_SVGA server on Debian using gpm and -R raw for passing through the raw data to the pipe /dev/gpmdata.
I am running XFree 4 4.10 now but i am still having problems with the Xvideo extension (in ogle DVD player playback) with 24bpp - A switch to 16bpp solves the problem. For updated drivers have a look here .
IRDA works flawlessly from kernel 2.2.18 on - Currently i am using 2.4.19-pre2 - Suspend/Resume and Hibernation work as expected - The driver "nsc-ircc" seems to be APM aware.
Installing irda-common is the only thing needed with Debian/Gnu/Linux/Woody
IrDA (tm) Protocols for Linux-2.2 (Dag Brattli) nsc-ircc, Found chip at base=0x02e nsc-ircc, driver loaded (Dag Brattli) IrDA: Registered device irda0 nsc-ircc, Using dongle: IBM31T1100 or Temic TFDS6000/TFDS6500 irlap_change_speed(), setting speed to 9600In the script or with debian set your serial configuarion in the setserial package to "manual" and change the config for /dev/ttyS1 in /etc/serial.conf to
/dev/ttyS1 uart none port 0x0 irq 0
For automatic unloading in case of inactivity i use this unloadirda script which automatically detects if protocols are in use and if not unloads the irda modules after 5 minutes
Sound seems to be the most difficult part right now. The ThinkPad uses the cs461x driver available as OSS and Alsa driver. I am using the Alsa driver currently. To get sound at all you will need to disable PCI Power Management in the BIOS. The OSS Driver seems to have a workaround in it with poking at the ACPI area.
I am using this modules.conf extension for alsa:
alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-card-cs461x alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_uid=0 options snd-card-cs461x snd_index=0
I am currently using alsa 0.5.10 from Debian/Woody backported to potato.
Works as expected with default Debian/GNU/Linux potato pcmcia card services.

Suspend/Resume and Hibernation work more or less flawlessly. Everything survives the cycles (IRDA, PCMCIA, X, Sound) when unloading Sound and PCMCIA modules on suspend. Debian does this automatically with the default installation. I installed apmd to take care on this.
One of the funnys is that the system refuses to Suspend/Hibernate when on AC Power and a PCMCIA card is inserted. This is definitly a BIOS bug. Initiating a userspace suspend with "apm -s" works as one of the first things is that the cardmanager gets a "software" eject via "cardctl eject".
To prepare the hibernation file i created/left a 256MB DOS Partition and prepared a hibernation file with the "IBM hibernation utility disk" available from the support section.
It seems the SMAPI is not fully implemented on this NoteBook BIOS but its enough to be able to Suspend/Hibernate with tpctl.
The winmodem is basically supported in a binary only driver. I dont like this black-box-cruft but i guess its better than nothing. Sometimes the driver hangs after first call and gives a "NO DIALTONE" on the second dial. Un-/loading the driver fixes this. You can find the binary/source mix to compile against your kernel here.
