I'm still running kFreeBSD only on my notebook and can confirm this ;-)

There's some thing with mesa complaining about my graphics card not
supported before linux 3.4 [0] but then almost everything works after a
chmod 000 /dev/dri/card. vlc also seems to randomly die but at least as
a work environment there's no real problem.

Oh it does? never got that working on the x220, maybe I should try
harder. How are you doing that? Just `acpiconf -s 3`?
