Hi Paul,

in the last weeks I started working a little on the Lenovo X60 support [1]. There are several issues like non-working 3D support with Linux 3.12+ [2]. Also Linux 3.11+ (or earlier) is unable to initialize the graphics device itself.
Unfortunately I do not own such a device. Francis Rowe helped me a lot with testing, but asking others to test does not scale, so I am contacting you if there are some interested people to sponsor a Lenovo X60 (preferably with a docking station for easier debugging). I cannot give any promises of course, but am optimistic that I can hold up to testing coreboot and Linux regressions and hopefully get some of those fixed.
From the time i've worked on the X60 support, i have a docking station
and a motherboard from an X60s. The bad thing is, it's only a motherboard, so you don't have a TFT and keyboard/trackpoint. The good thing: you run the motherboard without anything else on the docking station, which is nice for coreboot development because you can access almost anything on the hardware. I'm not sure if i soldered a SPI or LPC connector to it for reflashing.
I don't have a complete X60 to spare (want to keep my X60), but just drop me a line if you want to have that 'Coreboot development kit' :)
