I haven’t tried openSUSE 10.3 on my T61p just yet. The patch was crafted for specific version of the Nvidia driver. There’s likely been some changes in the newer version that are causing the problem. As much as it’s hurts, you’ll probably want to use the older driver that corresponds to the patch to get things working.

I’m using a T61p with openSUSE 10.3 and the newest nvidia 169.07 driver. Works great in both i586 and x_86_64 default kernels.

The patch doesn’t seem to exactly right for the 169.07 driver (fails on one file), but I’ve read on the nvnews forum forums that the recent driver doesn’t really need to be patched.

I’m trying to just build based on your instructions and am getting “unable to determine the target kernel version”. Something in my /usr/src/linux prep isn’t right, but I followed your instructions. Any idea?

@Alain:
ACPI stuff works great for me with the standard x86_64 kernel (not the xen kernel). sleep (s2ram) works well but hibernate (s2disk) seems to have some problems though I have not spent much time on it.

How well does ACPI stuff work? Will the laptop suspend and hybernate? What about battery drainage?
