Thanks for the response Nigel,
There does exist a recent bios update for this machine:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-58127
Hmm, it requires windows, and I've already wiped out that partition. I
did a search but it seems really scary to update the BIOS via Linux.
Anyone else out there have a Thinkpad G41 and has successfully upgraded
their BIOS?
Thanks,
-- Steve
