I've uploaded a full bundle of custom deb's with SLAB enabled for the
Thinkpad T60.

The file (115MB)

http://www.gigasize.com/get.php?d=zv54tcjp2gb

It is named 2.6.22-14-thinkpad, but I suppose it will work for other laptops
with ATI x1300. It also includes restricted-modules. The only diference from
the originial ubuntu kernel in the custom build is the SLAB option.

In the bundle there are also debs of fglrx 8.40.1 (the most stable ever)
built with module-assistant (script included). Works like charm with the
kernel above. There is also a copy of my /etc/default/acpi-support and my
/etc/X11/xorg.conf if you want to inspect.

Everything works fine under XGL.
