Thinkpads seem to be quite nasty for this - they're very nice boxes,
but not quite standard enough to work without hassle. You might want to
take a look at the debian-laptop archives for more information and
possibly ask for assistance there.
With bog standard desktop hardware it's very much simpler (unless you
have a very new graphics card, which none of my machines do) - pretty
much everything on my boxes apart from sound worked as soon as the
install was done.
