I'm also rebuilding my T60p in place (meaning I started half of it while chrooted, and have now switched over to the newer half...).

I've run into anew issue loading the dri drivers: AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __glXFindDRIScreen). Moving to the latest ati driver seemed to fix that (8.37.6-r1).

• ATI Linux drivers for debian has great information around how to configure X11 to work with the proprietary ati drivers.
• Fglrx - ThinkWiki is a good source for how this stuff all works with thinkpads...

So, I blew some time this weekend working on getting some of my pencil sketches scanned in the right way (why I decide the summer is the time to try this stuff.. ). There are a few of them I've been lugging along in my silly sketchbook, and I really like them.. which actually makes me less likely to carry the thing along, because it could mess up some of those doodles I really like.

So. I started by *gasp* removing them all from my little sketch book. I happen (because I'm a dork) to be equipped with things to make a nice portfolio with these sketches in them because of other crafty things, so I know where they'll end up. BUT.. before they go there, I'd like to get some high-quality scans of them (I'd like to be able to make prints of at least one..).

Anyway, after wasting scads of time, I can agree that the following links have whatchya need:

• Scanning pencil drawings (question in forum thread)
• Extending dynamic range (resulting HOW-TO)
