Thinkpad Z60m has an X600 (Or X300) graphics on it.

I have a z60m with X300 (1280x800 LCD) that runs quite well. I'm
having out for a core 2 duo model though till I buy my next one...
Sadly the core duo ones so far mean X1400 graphics...

What suspend/resume problems? My r50p with rv350 (FireGL T2) works
like a charm. Accelerated, suspend/resume no problems. Uptimes are on
the order of a month... bad (ha!) enough I almost forget the power on
passwd because suspend/resume doesn't require it (Sadly the
screensaver also doesn't kick in on suspend).
