Still no hard drive protection, but everything else seems pretty good. Suspend and resume works, and joining wi-fi networks seems reliable as well. I’ve got pretty much the best font settings I can hope for with this amount of work.
One thing I noticed was that because the X60’s screen doesn’t have the greatest viewing angle, the quality of fonts varies greatly depending on how you look at the screen. Things look particularly crappy if you looking at the screen from below (relative to perpendicular).
I thought maybe a gamma calibration would help, but then realized it was impossible since the calibration pattern looked different from every angle that I looked at it.
Oh well.
So maybe the only thing left to do is get a SSD drive. That makes hard drive protection support irrelelavant.
